So since 2/5 of the washing machines have been sold that means 3/5 remain in the store

first find the number of washing machines that were in the store before any were sold

X is the number of washing machines in the store before selling

18=(3/5)X

18/(3/5)=X
X=18*(5/3)
X=30

so at the beginning there were 30 machines

then multiply the percent sold (2/5) by the number at beginning to find the number sold

(2/5)*30=12

so 12 machines were sold

to find the cost per machine divide the total price by number of machines sold so

$3840/12= $320

so the answer is $320 per machine

Find the Value of k that will make the function f(x) continuous everywhere.

cricket20 [7]

well, if that function f(x) were to be continuos on all subfunctions, that means that whatever value 7x + k has when x = 2, meets or matches the value that kx² - 6 has when x = 2 as well, so then 7x + k = kx² - 6 when f(2)

$f(x)= \begin{cases} 7x+k,&x\leqslant 2\\ kx^2-6&x > 2 \end{cases}\qquad \qquad f(2)= \begin{cases} 7(2)+k,&x\leqslant 2\\ k(2)^2-6&x > 2 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 7(2)+k~~ = ~~k(2)^2-6\implies 14+k~~ = ~~4k-6 \\\\\\ 14~~ = ~~3k-6\implies 20~~ = ~~3k\implies \cfrac{20}{3}=k$
