Terrance and Jesse are training for a long-distance race. Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour, and Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes.

How long will each person take to run a total of 50 miles at the given rates?

Answer provided by our tutors

d = 50 mi the distance
t1 = the time of Terrance
t2 = the time of Jesse
Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour thus his rate is:
v1 = 6/0.5 = 12 mph
Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes thus his rate is:
v2 = 2/(15/60) = 8 mph
since speed = distance/time follows time = distance/speed:
t1 = d/v1
t1 = 50/12
t1 = 4 1/6 hr
t1 = 4 hr 10 min
t2 = d/v2
t2 = 50/8
t2 = 6 1/4 hr
t2 = 6 hr 15 min
Terrance will run 4 hours and 10 minutes.
Jesse will run 6 hours and 15 minutes.

The mean of the answer is 20.5 because you add all of the number together and divide by 6 because there's 6 numbers.

Write the equation of a piecewise function with a jump discontinuity at x =3. Then, determine which step of the 3-step test for

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Here's a possible example:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) =\begin{cases} x & \quad x < 3\\x+3 & \quad x \geq 3\\\end{cases}$

Each piece is linear, so the pieces are continuous by themselves.

We need consider only the point at which the pieces meet (x = 3).

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{-}} x = 3\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{+}} x+3 = 6\\\\f(3) = x + 3 = 6\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) \neq f(3)$

The left-hand limit does not equal ƒ(x), so there is a jump discontinuity at x =3.
