Find the values of m and b that make the following function differentiable.
dimaraw [331]
Now, bearing in mind that, for a graph, to be "differentiable", means a "smooth transition", not an abrupt edge or a "cusp", the first subfunction of the piece-wise is just a quadratic, the second subfunction is a linear, well, so the linear needs to hit the quadratic "smoothly", not make an abrupt edge, for that, the linear must continue the quadratic from 2 onwards, since 2 is the range edge.

now, what is the piece-wise when x = 2? well, f(2) = x² or (2)² or 4

that means, the linear needs to hit it at that point, to make it so, let's make it the slope of the linear, the same as the quadratic's.

what's the quadratic's slope? well, simple enough

\bf \left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=2x \right|_{x=2}\implies 4\impliedby \textit{this means }
\begin{array}{llll}
mx+b\\
\uparrow \\
4
\end{array}

so we have y = 4x + b

now, recall, for the quadratic, when x =2, y = 4, so for the linear, when x = 2, y = 4 as well, this means

\bf 4 = 4(2) + b\implies 4=8+b\implies 4-8=b\implies \boxed{-4=b}
\\\\\\
mx+b\implies 4x-4\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)=
\begin{cases}
x^2&x\le 2\\
4x-4&x\ \textgreater \ 2
\end{cases}

check the picture below.

a cooler contains 50 bottles; 30 bottles of water, which 8 are lemon flavored and 20 bottles of tea, of which 5 are lemon flavor
xenn [34]

Answer:

The required probability is \dfrac{13}{50}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of bottles = 50

Total number of water bottles = 30

Total number of lemon flavored water bottles = 8

Total number of tea bottles = 20

Total number of lemon flavored tea bottles = 5

<em>Probability of selecting a lemon flavored water bottle = Probability of selecting a water bottle </em>\times<em> Probability of selecting a lemon bottle out of water bottles.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Probability of selecting a lemon flavored tea bottle = Probability of selecting a tea bottle </em>\times<em> Probability of selecting a lemon bottle out of tea bottles.</em>

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

Probability of selecting a water bottle:

\dfrac{30}{50} = \dfrac{3}{5}

Probability of selecting a lemon flavored bottle from water bottle:

\dfrac{8}{30}

<em>Probability of selecting a lemon flavored water bottle = P(A)</em>

<em></em>\dfrac{3}{5} \times \dfrac{8}{30} = \dfrac{4}{25}<em></em>

<em></em>

Probability of selecting a tea bottle:

\dfrac{20}{50} = \dfrac{2}{5}

Probability of selecting a lemon flavored bottle from tea bottle:

\dfrac{5}{20} = \dfrac{1}{4}

<em>Probability of selecting a lemon flavored tea bottle = P(B)</em>

<em></em>\dfrac{2}{5} \times \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{10}<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>The required probability is:</em>

<em>P(A) + P(B):</em>

<em></em>\dfrac{4}{25} + \dfrac{1}{10}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{8+5}{50}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{13}{50}<em></em>
