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.

Please help, i forgot which was which... (positive or negative coefficient)
Vesna [10]
<h3>Answer:  Negative</h3>

Reason:

The template y = ax^2+bx+c applies to any quadratic to graph out a parabola. The coefficient for the x^2 term is 'a', and it solely determines whether the parabola opens upward or downward.

If 'a' is negative, then the parabola opens downward. The way to remember this is that 'a' being negative forms a negative frown.

On the other hand if 'a' is positive, then it forms a positive smile, and the parabola opens upward.

In this case, the points are fairly close to a parabola opening downward. This means 'a' is negative and a < 0.

Okay so instead of dividing you will cross multiply.
4n(15)=84(5)
