Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A continuous function is a function that is defined for all the values in it's domain without any sudden jumps in the values in the domain of the function. All the given situations are analysed below:

1) The temperature at la location as a function of time is continuous function since at any location the temperature is defined for all the time and the temperature cannot suddenly change from say 10 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius instantly without passing through intermediate values.

2) The temperature at a specific time as a function of the distance due west from New York city is a continuous function as temperature is defined for all the instants of time without any sudden changes as we move between places.

3) The altitude as an function of distance due west from New York is a discontinuous function as there may be sudden changes in the altitude due to changes in topography such as presence of cliff or valley.

4) The cost as a function of function of distance traveled is a discontinuous function since the cost of travel increases integrally in increments of distance and not in a continuous manner.

5) The current in a circuit as function of time is discontinuous function as the current jumps instantly from 0 to a non zero value when we switch on the circuit and same is true when we switch off the circuit it's value decreases instantly to 0.

Y=4x-9 <br> complete the missing value in the solution to the equation <br> (3,__)
kozerog [31]
So we need to plug in our values so now y=4(3)-9 so 4*3 is 12 now we have y=12-9 Subtract 12 and nine to get 3 so y equals 3.
The answer is (3, 3). Hope this helped please look at others answers and check other resources as well

If x &lt; 5 and x &gt;c, give a value of c such that there
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

c = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound inequality is c < x < 5

If we want a value of c such that there are no solutions, we need to make that inequality false.

From the inequality we can see that 5 must be greater than c to be true.

Therefore, we need to choose a value smaller or equal than 5.

For example, c=6.

If c = 6, that means that x is greater than 6 and smaller than 5. That's impossible, there is no number that meets that.

Therefore, our compound inequality 6 < x < 5 has no solutions.

What must be added to 3x-7 to make x^2 +4x-1 ?
Snowcat [4.5K]
<span> x²+4x-1 - (3x - 7) = x² + 4x - 1 - 3x +7 = x² + x + 6

</span>x² + x + 6 should be added to 3x - 7  to make  x²+4x-1.
