The answer would be -15.74
First, you must find the width of GHJK. Since the area of it is 84m², divide 84 by 7.
84÷7=12
So the width of GHJK is 12m.
Next, find the scale of GHJK to LMNP. Since the height of both are already available, you can divide 21÷7 to get 3
This means that to get the width of LMNP you must multiply the width of GHJK by 3.
12×3=36.
Now, to get the area of LMNP, multiply 21 by 36.
21×36=756
So, the area of LMNP is 756m². (Don't forget the units!>
-4x^2 - 8......input (x) = 2
-4(2^2) - 8 =
-4(4) - 8 =
-16 - 8 =
- 24 <==
In piecewise linear functions, the endpoint of one segment and the initial point of the next segment can have the same x-coordinate but a different value of f(x).
Such difference in values is called a step or discontinuity and such a function is called a discontinuous function.
Here in this case, there are 3 discontinuities: x=-3, x=3 and x = 5.
x = -3 because x is smaller than or greater than -3 but not equal.
x = 3 since greater than 3 in one of the inequalities.
x = 5 since x is smaller than 5 in one of the limits.
