Let f be the function defined as follows:1. If a = 2 and b = 3, is f continuous at x = 1? Justify your answer.2. Find a relation

ship between a and b for which f is continuous at x = 1.Hint: A relationship between a and b just means an equation in a and b.3. Find a relationship between a and b so that f is continuous at x = 2.4. Use your equations from parts (ii) and (iii) to find the values of a and b so that f is continuous at both x = 1 and also at x = 2?5. Graph the piece function using the values of a and b that you have found. You may graph by hand or use your calculator to graph and copy and paste into thedocument

Answer:

1. not continuous, as the function definitions deliver different function values at x=1 when approaching this x from the left and from the right side.

2.

2 = a + b

3.

0 = 2a + b

4.

a = -2

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the function is continuous at a specific point or value of x, if the f(x) = y functional value is the same coming from the left and the right side at that point.

1. that means that for x=1

3 - x = ax² + bx

so,

3 - 1 = a×1² + b×1 = a + b

2 = a + b

we have to use a=2 and b=3

2 = 2 + 3 = 5

2 is not equal 5, so the assumed equality is false, so the function is not continuous there.

2. point 1 gave us already the working relationship between a and b.

2 = a + b

only if that is true, is the function continuous at x=1.

3. now for x=2

5x - 10 = ax² + bx

5×2 - 10 = a×2² + b×2 = 4a + 2b

10 - 10 = 4a + 2b

0 = 4a + 2b

0 = 2a + b

4. to find a and b to be continuous at both locations x=1 and x=2 both expressions in a and b must apply.

so, they establish a system of 2 equations with 2 variables.

2 = a + b

0 = 2a + b

a = 2 - b

0 = 2×(2-b) + b = 4 - 2b + b = 4 - b

b = 4

therefore

a = 2 - 4 = -2

5. I cannot draw a graph here.

just use now the function

3 - x, x < 1

‐2x² +4x, 1 <= x < 2

5x - 10, x >= 2

Position to term rule of 2, 6, 10, 14, 18<br><br> multiply by _____ and subtract by _____
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

2, 6, 10, 14, 18

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference and is defined as

\:a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

compute the differences of all the adjacent terms

6-2=4,\:\quad \:10-6=4,\:\quad \:14-10=4,\:\quad \:18-14=4

The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same.

Thus,

d=4

and

a_1=2

Therefore, the nth term is computed by:

a_n=4\left(n-1\right)+2

a_n=4n-2

Thus, position to term rule of 2, 6, 10, 14, 18  multiply by __4___ and subtract by __2__.

URGENT PLS HELP MAX POINTS
bija089 [108]

Answer:

-103

243

Step-by-step explanation:

(q•r)(5) = q(r(5))

r(5) = 2(5²) + 1 = 51

q(51) = -2(51) - 1 = -103

(r•q)(5) = r(q(5))

q(5) = -2(5) - 1 = -11

r(-11) = 2(-11)² + 1 = 243
