<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

irga5000 [103]
You are adding s^2 to your 128 ft^2.  s^2 is a common representation of a square.  So you could think of it as adding an area of a square of side "s" to your deck.

So one way of drawing it is to draw a rectangle with area 128 ft^2 and attaching a square to one of its side.  The square that is attached has a side lenght of "s."

Find the image of the points after a reflection in the line x=-2​
meriva

Answer:

The Y value part of the point's coordinates will always stay the same, and then calculate the distance from the point's x value to the line -2 and then count the same amount in the opposite direction. For example, if the point was (-3,1), then the point is 1 left from the line, so you will go point one right from the line and get the answer (-1,1)
