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

Solve for p. 9(p-4) = -18 p=
agasfer [191]

Step-by-step explanation:

9(p-4) = -18

9p - 36 = -18

9p = -18 + 36

9p = 18

p= 18/9

p = 2

Check:

9 ( 2 - 4 ) = - 18

9 (-2) = - 18

- 18 = - 18

On average, Christopher scores 2 goals in a soccer game but, depending on how well the opposing team is playing, his goal total
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Given:

Christopher scores 2 goals in a soccer game.

His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.

To find:

The absolute value equation can be used to calculate Christopher's maximum and minimum goals per game.

Solution:

Let Christopher scores x goals in a soccer game.

Then difference between actual goals and average goals is x-2.

His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.

Maximum number of goals = 2+1 = 3

Minimum number of goals = 2-1 = 1

It means, the difference between actual goals and average goals is either -1 and 1.

x-2=-1        ...(1)

x-2=1         ...(2)

Using (1) and (2),we get

|x-2|=1

Therefore, the correct option is C.
