How many discontinuities does the piecewise function have.?

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.

Chris and Becky are comparing mortgages. The mortgage is for $183,500. If they choose 30 years at 5%, their monthly payment will
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

For 30 years at 5% = $354,625.2

For 20 years at 4.5% = $278,618.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The total payback for each payment is given by the monthly payment multiplied by the total number of months for the payment period (years).

1) For 30 years at 5%

Total number of months in 30 years = 30 x 12 = 360 months

Payback = $985.07 x 360 = $354,625.2

2) For 20 years at 4.5%

Total number of months in 20 years = 20 x 12 = 240 months

Payback = $1160.91 x 240 = $278,618.4

The mass of a tiger at a zoo is 235 kilograms. Randy's cat has a mass of 5,000 grams. How many times greater is the mass of tige
ANTONII [103]
Solutions 

We know that <span>the mass of a tiger at a zoo is 235 kilograms. Randy's cat has a mass of 5,000 grams. To solve the problem we have to convert 235 kilograms into grams. 

</span>235 kilograms = 235000 grams 

<span>Randy's cat has a mass of 5,000 grams 
</span>
Randy's cat = <span>5,000 grams 
</span>
Tiger = <span>235000 grams  
</span>
Our next step is to subtract 5000 from <span>235000 grams  
</span>
235000 grams  - <span>5000 grams = 230000 
</span>
Answer = <span>230000  grams </span>

A manufacturer of college textbooks is interested in estimating the strength of the bindings produced by a particular binding ma
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

538 books should be tested.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many books should be tested to estimate the average force required to break the binding to within 0.08 lb with 99% confidence?

n books should be tested.

n is found when M = 0.08

We have that \sigma = 0.72

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.08 = 2.575*\frac{0.72}{\sqrt{n}}

0.08\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.72

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.72}{0.08}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*0.72}{0.08})^{2}

n = 537.1

Rounding up

538 books should be tested.
