For a function to be continuous at an x-value, say -17, you need to make sure two things line up:
The limit from the left equals the limit from the right.
This limit equals the functions value.
The left hand limit involves the first piece, f(x) = 20x + 1:
![\begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -17^{-}} f(x) &= \lim_{x \to -17^{-}} (20x+1)\\[0.5em]&= 20(-17)+1\\[0.5em]&= -339\endaligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%20%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Cto%20-17%5E%7B-%7D%7D%20f%28x%29%20%26%3D%20%20%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Cto%20-17%5E%7B-%7D%7D%20%2820x%2B1%29%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%26%3D%20%20%2020%28-17%29%2B1%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%26%3D%20%20%20-339%5Cendaligned%7D)
The right hand limit invovles the second piece, f(x) = -10x^2:
![\begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} f(x) &= \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} (-10x^2)\\[0.5em]&= -10\cdot (-17)^2\\[0.5em]&= -2890\endaligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%20%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Cto%20-17%5E%7B%2B%7D%7D%20f%28x%29%20%26%3D%20%20%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Cto%20-17%5E%7B%2B%7D%7D%20%28-10x%5E2%29%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%26%3D%20%20%20-10%5Ccdot%20%28-17%29%5E2%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%26%3D%20%20%20-2890%5Cendaligned%7D)
Since the two one-sided limits don't match, the function is not continuous at x=-17.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: emma's amount be X . justin has $7.50+x because he has $7.50 more than emma.Since emma has 7.50+x-$12.to get everyones amount add what they have together which is=$7.50+x+$7.50+x-12 which in total is $63.00.after the calculations you get x=30.now distribute the x equally. so justin has $7.50+30=37.50.we also distribute it with emma's which is 7.50+30-12=25.5.
justin=$37.50
Emma=$25.50
to be sure add 37.50+25.50=$63
Answer and explanation:
1. 2 × 3/10 = 6/10 = 3/5
2. 8 × 4/8 = 32/8 = 4
3. 9 × 3/9 = 27/9 = 3
4. 12 × 2/11 = 24/11 = 2 2/11
5. 3 × 5/7 = 15/7 = 2 1/7
6. 2 × 3/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5
7. 11 × 4/8 = 44/8 = 5 4/8 = 5 1/2
8. 10 × 1/4 = 10/4 = 2 2/4 = 2 1/2
9. 5 × 1/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
10. 11 × 2/7 = 22/7 = 3 1/7
Hope this helps!
