Answer:
There is a loss of 2 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the overall gain or loss, we add or subtract there values.
Initially, we have 0 yards.
Records 14, so 0 + 14 = 14, that is, for now a gain of 14
Then loses 7, so 14 - 7 = 7, for now a gain of 7.
Then, 7 - 9 = - 2, so in all, there is a loss of 2 yards.
x+1 , x<-1
x²-bx-4 , -1≤x≤4
1/2 x +a
substitute x=-1 , continuous everywhere
x+1=x²-bx-4 when x=-1
-1+1=-1²-b-4
then for :
x²-bx-4=1/2 x +a for x=4
4²-4b-4=1/2x+a
16-4(3)-4=4/2+a
16-12-4-2=a
the equations will be :
x+1
x²-3x-4
1/2x-2
I hope this help
23
Basically I did it backwards & opposites:
-28 divided by -7 = 4
4 + 19 = 23
I checked btw and it worked.
