Let f be the function defined as follows:

Mathematics

With f defined by

f(x)=\begin{cases}|x-1|+2&\text{for }x

in order for it to be continuous at x=c, we require

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to c^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to c^+}f(x)=f(c)

(i) If a=2 and b=3, then f(1)=2(1)^2+3(1)=5 and

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1}|x-1|+2=2

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1}2x^2+3x=5

The limits don't match, so f is not continuous at x=1 under these conditions.

(ii) To establish continuity at x=1, we'd need the limit as x\to1 from the right to be equal to the limit from the left, or

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}ax^2+bx=\lim_{x\to1}|x-1|+2\iff a+b=2

(iii) We have f(2)=0 and

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to2}ax^2+bx=4a+2b

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to2}5x-10=0

For f to be continuous at x=2, then, we'd need to have

4a+2b=0

(iv) Taking both requirements from parts (ii) and (iii), we solve for a,b:

\begin{cases}a+b=2\\4a+2b=0\end{cases}\implies a=-2,b=4

I've attached a plot that confirms this is correct.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: a) 6700    b) 2233

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

(-67)*(-99)+(-67)*(-1)=\\(-67)*((-99)+(-1))=\\(-67)*(-100)=\\6700

b)

29*(80-3)=\\(30-1)*(80-3)=\\30*80+(-1)*80+(-3)*30+(-1)*(-3)=\\2400-80-90+3=\\2403-170=\\2233

Explain how you could use the interactive table to tell if
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Tables are essentially the source for all the charts. They are best used for comparison, composition, or relationship analysis when there are only few variables and data points. It would not make much sense to create a chart if the data can be easily interpreted from the table.

The tables help us to compare the values of those two sets of the data  that have been presented in different ways.
