You would graph the equation f(x) = –x + 3 for input values less than 2. There would be an open circle at the point (2, 1) since the domain for the first piece does not include 2. You would then graph a horizontal line at f(x) = 3 for input values between 2 and 4. There would be a closed circle at (2, 3) and an open circle at (4, 3). Last, you would graph f(x) = 4 – 9x for input values greater than or equal to 4. There would be a closed circle at the point (4, –4) since 4 is in the domain of the third piece.

Our piecewise-defined function consist of three sub functions.

The first one is

-x+3, for domain x<2

if we put 2, -2+3=1 so at (2,1) function is not defined and we have empty circle at this point.

The second one is

3, for the domain 2<x<4

3 is a constant function for the domain 2<x<4 and not defined at x=2 and x=4, open circle at both points.

The third one is

4-2x, for the domain x>4

if we put 4, 4-2(4)=-4 so at (4,-4) function is not defined and we have empty circle at this point.

So,

our piecewise defined function is discontinuous.

The graph is attached below.

A rectangle has vertices at (0, 0), (3, 0), and (0,6). What is the area of the rectangle?
Alexxandr [17]

First, set the coordinate points on a graph, and joint them to form a graph

By looking at the graph we can see that:

width : 3

length: 6

Area of a rectangle : Length x width : 6 x 3 = 18

Noah plays football. His team's goal is to score
OleMash [197]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

We can plug in the ordered pair (6,-1) into the equation. Remember that 6 is the x coordinate therefore we plug it in for x and that -1 is the y coordinate so we should plug it in for y.

6x+3y=6(6)+3(-1)=36-3=33

Since 33 is not equivalent to 15, (6, -1) is not a solution to the equation.

When the sun is at 31 above the horizon, a tree casts a 42 ft. shadow. how tall is the tree?
Fantom [35]
Answer: 25.2361459992ft

This question can be solved by a trigonometric equation. Shadow formed when something with height like a tree, so it can be pictured as a vertical line. Shadow is a length of and can be pictured as a horizontal line.  
In trigonometric, to find the vertical line length with horizontal line you need tan function. The sun angle will be used in the function, so the calculation would be: tan(31) x 42ft = 25.2361459992ft

North America burned 4.5 x 1016 btu of petroleum in 1998. At this rate, how many BTU's will be burned in 9 year?
nikklg [1K]
Hello. Sonny solving this equation, multiplying 4.5 by 1016 will give us 4,572 BTU's a year. However, we are looking for the amount looking for the amount that will burn in 9 years. When you multiply 4,572 by 9, you get 41,148. 41,148 BTU's will be burned in 9 years.
