Given function is

f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}3x+k & x\leq -4 \\ kx^2-5 & x> -4\end{matrix}\right.

now we need to find the value of k such that function f(x) continuous everywhere.

We know that any function f(x) is continuous at point x=a if left hand limit and right hand limits at the point x=a are equal.

So we just need to find both left and right hand limits then set equal to each other to find the value of k

To find the left hand limit (LHD) we plug x=-4 into 3x+k

so LHD= 3(-4)+k

To find the Right hand limit (RHD) we plug x=-4 into

kx^2-5

so RHD= k(-4)^2-5

Now set both equal

k(-4)^2-5=3(-4)+k

16k-5=-12+k

16k-k=-12+5

15k=-7

k=-\frac{7}{15}

k=-0.47

<u>Hence final answer is -0.47.</u>
