D. , this is a good way because this way you can easily multiply and then you'll see your answer right in front of you.

If a function is defined as

where both
are continuous functions, then
is also continuous where defined, i.e. where 
So, in your case, this function is continous everywhere, except where

To solve this equation, we can use the formula 
It means that, if the leading terms is 1, then the x coefficient is the opposite of the sum of the roots, and the constant term is the product of the roots.
So, we're looking for two terms whose sum is 7, and whose product is 12. These numbers are easily found to be 3 and 4.
So, this function is continuous for every real number different than 3 or 4.
Each bag of rice is going to have 1/8 of the original amount, or 1/8 of 45.
45/8 = 5.625.
Each rice bag will have 5.625 pounds of rice.
Size bc it’s 8 numbers away
The answer is outliers because when you have a larger or smaller set than your sequence suggests the mean will move toward the outlier
