Answer is 3.

The function is not continuous at the points

x=-3: x=3 and x = 5

Explanation:

Consider the left and right limits of the funciton at these points.

i) x=-3

Left limit = 3e^(-3+3)+1 = 4

right limit = [/tex]2/3  (9)-1 = 5[/tex]

Since left limit not equals right limit not continuous at x =-3

ii) x=3

Left limit = 5 and right limit = -7(3)/2+29/2 = 4

Since left limit not equals right limit not continuous at x =3

iii) x=5

Left limit = 7(5)/2+29/2 = 32

Right limit = log (2*5-4) = log 6

Since left limit not equals right limit not continuous at x =5.

Thus there are 3 discontinuities.

In piecewise linear functions, the endpoint of one segment and the initial point of the next segment can have the same x-coordinate but a different value of f(x).

Such difference in values is called a step or discontinuity and such a function is called a discontinuous function.

Here in this case, there are 3 discontinuities: x=-3, x=3 and x = 5.

x = -3 because x is smaller than or greater than -3 but not equal.

x = 3 since greater than 3 in one of the inequalities.

x = 5 since x is smaller than 5 in one of the limits.

Inessa05 [86]

We have the following expression given:

(4y^3+28y^2)+(y+7)

We can start selecting as common factor 4y^2 and we got:

4y^2(y+7)+(y+7)

Now we can select y+7 as common factor and we got:

(y+7)\left\lbrack 4y^2+1\right\rbrack

So then our final answer would be:

(y+7)(4y^2+1)

Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that one of the cards is red a
alukav5142 [94]
Total cards = 52
Total red cards = 26
Total black cards = 26

P(one red and one black) = P(red and then black)+ P(black and then red)
P(one red and one black) =(26/52)(26/51) + (26/52)(26/51)
P(one red and one black) = 26/51 (Answer A)
