Answer:

4.65\leq x\leq 5.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual width of belt be x

we are given that the ideal width of safety belt strap is 5 cm

So, Difference between actual and ideal = (x-5)cm

We are also given that An actual width can vary by at most 0.35 cm.

So, The difference between actual and ideal width should be less than or equal to 0.35 cm

So, |x-5|\leq 0.35

We know

x-5\leq 0.35 and x-5\geq -0.35

x\leq 0.35+5 and x\geq -0.35+5

x\leq 5.35 and x\geq 4.65

So, 4.65\leq x\leq 5.35

Hence the range of acceptable widths is 4.65\leq x\leq 5.35

Graph the following piecewise function on a separate piece of graph paper and upload your graph below.
Alecsey [184]
ANSWER

To graph the function

f(x)=\left \{ {{x+4\:\:if\:\:-4\leq x

follow the steps below.

1. Find y- intercept by plugging in x=0.

x=0 is on the interval,  -4\leq x, so we substitute in to

f(x)=x+4

\Rightarrow f(0)=0+4

\Rightarrow f(0)=4

Hence the y-intercept is (0,4)

2. Find x-intercept by setting f(x)=0

This implies that

x+4=0, on -4\leq x

or

2x-1=0 on 3\leq x

We now solve for x on each interval,

x=-4, on -4\leq x

or

x=\frac{1}{2} on 3\leq x

But observe that

x=\frac{1}{2} does not belong to 3\leq x

This means it  can never be an intercept for this piece-wise function.

Hence our x-intercept is (-4,0)

3. Plotting the boundaries of the interval.

For f(x)=x+4 on  -4\leq x

f(-4)=-4+4

\Rightarrow f(-4)=0.

This point (-4,0) coincides with the x-intercept.

f(3)=3+4

f(3)=7

So we have the point (3,7). But note that x=3 does not belong to this interval so we plot this point as a hole.

For f(x)=2x-1 on 3\leq x

f(3)=2(3)-1

\Rightarrow f(3)=5

So we plot (3,5)

f(6)=2(6)-1

\Rightarrow f(6)=11

So we plot (6,11) also as a hole.

Plotting all these points we can now graph the function,

f(x)=\left \{ {{x+4\:\:if\:\:-4\leq x

See attachment for graph.
