Answer: (C) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking which y-value are not represented in the graph. IN other words, they are asking for which values are not included in the range.

You can do this by graphing the equations:

y = x + 2 for x ≥ 0 has a y-intercept of +2 with y-values increasing

Note: +2 is included so has an closed dot

y = x - 2 for x < 0 has a y-intercept of -2 with y-values decreasing

Note: -2 is not included so has an open dot

Therefore, there are no y-values between +2 and -2 (including -2). The only option provided between these values is 1, which is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is an increasing piecewise function with a jump at x=0 from

f(0-) = -2 to f(0)=+2.

Hence values of f(x) in the interval (-2,+2] cannot be achieved, since

for all x<0, f(x)<-2, and

for all x>=0, f(x)>= +2.

See attached graph for visual explanation.

A colony of bacteria triples in link every 10 minutes. It's length is now 1 mm. How long will be in 40 minutes

Nuetrik [128]

If the bacteria is tripling every 10 minutes, that means the "rate of increase" on that period is 200%, so if say the current amount is "c", 200% of "c" is just 2c, so c + 2c is 3c, a tripled amount.

$\bf \textit{Periodic Exponential Growth}\\\\
A=I(1 + r)^{\frac{t}{p}}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &1\\
r=rate\to 2\%\to \frac{200}{100}\to &2.00\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &40\\
p=period\to &10
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=1(1 + 2)^{\frac{40}{10}}$

Raymond has taken a position as the navigator on a speed boat racing team. The team entered a race that starts at Daytona Beach,

erik [133]

Using the rules of cosines, the measure of the turn between the second and third legs of the race is given by

$\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{180^2+160^2-140^2}{2\times180\times160} \right)=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{32,400+26,600-19,600}{57,600} \right) \\ \\ =\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{39,400}{57,600} \right)=\cos^{-1}(0.6840)\approx47^o$
