How do you explain this function?

Mathematics

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

For  0 <= x < =40 the function is that of the straight line 15x which has slope 15. Note that at x = 40 the value of the function is 15(4) =600

For x > 40 , the function is another straight line but with slope 20. This line is steeper than the 15x line but for x near, but slightly greater than  40, the value is close to 600 + 20 (40-40)  or 600 + 20(40-40) = 600.  This is the same value as the first line, 15x, at x = 40.

In summary, the graph of p(x), from   0 <= x <=40, is a line of slope 15 and for x>40 is a line of slope 20.  p(x) has a removable discontinuity at x = 40 because  p(x) approaches 600 as x approaches 40, regardless of the method of approach (i.e. whether x  approaches 40 from values less than 40 or from values greater than 40)




Thank you,

MrB

A cylindrical pressure vessel has a height of 9 feet and a diameter of 6 feet. how much gas can the pressure vessel hold when fu
bezimeni [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of a cylinder is as for any other regular 3D object :

ground area ×height

the ground area of a cylinder is a circle, so it is

pi×radius² × height

the radius is always half of the diameter (of the diameter is airways twice the radius).

radius = 6/2 = 3 ft.

the volume is then

pi × 3² × 9 = pi × 9 × 9 = pi × 81 ft³

so, the answer is 81pi ft³.

What is they y intercept and why?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
