<h2>Answer and Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

This is a piecewise function because it is defined by more than two functions. Basically, we want to take the limit here. Recall that if a function f(x)  approaches some value L  as x  approaches a  from both the right and the left, then the limit of f(x) exists and equals  L. Here we won't calculate the limit, but apply some concepts of it. So:

a. as \ x \rightarrow +\infty, \ k(x) \rightarrow +\infty

Move on the x-axis from the left to the right and you realize that as x increases y also increases without bound.

b. as \ x \rightarrow -\infty, \ k(x) \rightarrow 0

Move on the x-axis from the right to the left and you realize that as x decreases to negative values y approaches zero.

c. as \ x \rightarrow 2, \ k(x) \rightarrow 0

Since the function is continuous here, we can say that k(2)=0

d. as \ x \rightarrow -2, \ k(x) \rightarrow 0

The function is discontinuous here, but k(-2) exists and equals 0 as the black hole indicates at x=-2.

e. as \ x \rightarrow -4, \ k(x) \rightarrow 2

The function is also discontinuous here, but the black hole indicates that this exists at x=-4, so k(-4)=2

f. as \ x \rightarrow 0, \ k(x) \rightarrow 4

Since the function is continuous here, we can say that k(0)=4

An arrow is shot straight up from a cliff 58.8 meters above the ground with an initial velocity of 49 meters per second. Let up
Papessa [141]

Answer:

s(t)=-9.8t^2+49t+58.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an arrow is shot straight up from a cliff 58.8 meters above the ground with an initial velocity of 49 meters per second. Let up be the positive direction. Because gravity is the force pulling the arrow down, the initial acceleration of the arrow is −9.8 meters per second squared.

We know that equation of an object's height t seconds after the launch is in form s(t)=-gt^2+v_0t+h_0, where

g = Force of gravity,

v_0 = Initial velocity,

h_0 = Initial height.

For our given scenario g=-9.8, v_0=49 and h_0=58.8. Upon substituting these values in object's height function, we will get:

s(t)=-9.8t^2+49t+58.8

Therefore, the function for the height of the arrow would be s(t)=-9.8t^2+49t+58.8.

ddd [48]

Answer:

31°

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 10 = 5x - 4 ... - 3x and +4 both side

14 = 2x

x = 7

angle 1 and angle 2: 5 x 7 - 4 = 31°

check: 3 x 7 + 10 = 31°
