Answer:

P = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2/5 = P/15

Multiply both sides by 15 to cancel out 15 dividing the unknown .

We have

2/5 x 15 = P/15 x 15

Multiply through on the left and cancel out 15 on the right .

We have,

30/5 = P

6 = P

P = 6

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (9,60 and (14,7)?

bija089 [108]

This is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), y2 being 12, y1 being 7, x2 being -39 and x1 being 26. So if you plug in the points it would be: (12-7)/(-39-26). This solved equals: -5/65 which simplified equals: -1/13

Answer the following True or False:

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

False; consider as a counterexample the function f : ℝ→ℝ defined by

$f(x)=\begin{cases}-3&\text{for }x\neq2\\0&\text{for }x=2\end{cases}$

Clearly f approaches -3 as x gets closer to -2, but neither limit from either side is equal to the function's value at x = 2 (that is, -3 ≠ 0), so f is not continuous.
