PLZ HELP, DUE TONIGHT!! Find the values of a and b such that f(x) is continuous at x=1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  • a = 2, b = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To make the given piecewise function continuous we need:</u>

  • ax² - b = 6 and 5ax + b = 6 at x = 1

<u>It gives us the system:</u>

  • a(1²) - b = 6 ⇒ a - b = 6
  • 5a(1) + b = 6 ⇒ 5a + b = 6

<u>Sum of the two:</u>

  • a - b + 5a + b = 6 + 6
  • 6a = 12
  • a = 2

<u>Then b is:</u>

  • 2 - b = 6
  • b = -4

30 points! Find the four arithmetic means between -17 and 32.
bearhunter [10]

Answer: - 7.2 , 2.6 , 12.4 and 22.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the arithmetic means be p , q , r ,s , therefore , the sequence becomes:

-17 , p , q , r , s , 32

The first term (a ) = -17

Last term (L) = 32

common difference (d) = ?

number of terms (n ) = 6

We will use the formula for calculating the last term to find the common difference. That  is

L = a + (n - 1 ) d

Substituting the values , we have

32 = -17 + (6-1) d

32 = -17 + 5d

32 + 17 = 5d

49 = 5d

Therefore: d = 9.8

We can therefore find the values of p , q , r , and s

p is the second term , that is

p = a + d

p = -17 + 9.8

p = -7.2

q = a + 2d

q = - 17 + 19.6

q = 2.6

r = a + 3d

r = - 17 + 29.4

r = 12.4

s = a + 4d

s = - 17 + 39.2

s = 22.2

Therefore : the arithmetic means are : - 7.2 , 2.6 , 12.4 and 22.2

If y varies directly with x and y = -15 when x = 3, find x when y = 10.
Anika [276]

Answer:

like here x= 3 and y= -15

here, its 5 times goes in negative

now if y = 10 TO X IS 5 TIME POSITIVE HERE = 10×5 = 50

Helpppp with this math
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 8 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the known values into the equation and solve for x.

  f(x) = 3x -1

  24 = 3x -1 . . . . . use 24 for f(x)

  25 = 3x . . . . . . . add 1 to both sides

  25/3 = x . . . . . . divide both sides by 3

The input is x = 8 1/3.

P is the incenter of △JKL. Find m∠JKP.<br> &amp; can you please explain
dangina [55]

Answer:

  • m∠MKP = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Incenter is the intersection of angle bisectors.</u>

  • ∠MJP = ∠OJP, ∠MKP = ∠NKP, ∠NLP = ∠OLP

<u>First find the value of x:</u>

  • 7x - 6 = 5x + 4
  • 7x - 5x = 4 + 6
  • 2x = 10
  • x = 5

<u>Find the angle MJP:</u>

  • 7*5 - 6 = 29°

<u>We know sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Using this find the missing angle measure:</u>

  • 2*m∠MJP + 2*m∠NJP + 2*m∠MKP = 180°
  • m∠MJP + m∠NJP + m∠MKP = 90°
  • 29° + 26° + m∠MKP = 90°
  • m∠MKP = 90° - 55°
  • m∠MKP = 35°
