<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

A rectangle measures 16 cm by 4 cm. It has the same area as a square. Find the perimeter of the square.
Elis [28]

ok ... in this situation... we need to find the area of the rectangle first as it is equal to the area of square .

so .... area of rectangle = l×b= 16×4

= 64 ∴area of square = 64

area of square = s×s

∴to find one side of the square ... we need to find the root of 64 = 8

∴one side = 8

now : perimeter of square : 4 × sides = 4 × 8 = 32 ║
