Solve each of the equations independently, then determine if the are continuous or discontinuous.
15≥-3x [start here]
-5≤x [divide both sides by (-3). *Dividing by a negative number means the direction of the sign changes!]
x≥-5 [just turned around for analysis]
Next equation:
2/3x≥-2 [start here]
x≥-2(3/2) [multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal, 3/2)
x≥-3
So, (according to the first equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -5.
(According to the second equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -3.
So, when graphed on a number line, both equations graph in the same direction, so they are continuous.
Unfortunately, Tashara, you have not provided enuf info from which to calculate the values of a and b. If you were to set <span>F(x)=x(x+a)(x-b) = to 0, then:
x=0,
x=-a
x=-b
but this doesn't answer your question.
Double check that you have shared all aspects of this question.</span>
