Answer:

24 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assign the variables x and y to the two numbers we can set up two equations,

x+y = 62

x = y + 14

Substituting the second equation into the first,

(y+14)+y = 62

2y + 14 = 62

subtract 14 on both sides

2y = 48

divideboth sides by 2

y = 24

If y = 24, then x = 38 because x is 14 more than y.

Is f(x) continuous at x equals 4? Why or why not? A. No, f(x) is not continuous at x equals 4 because ModifyingBelow lim Wit

soldier1979 [14.2K]

<u>Corrected Question</u>

Is the function given by:

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{4}x+1 &x\leq 4\\4x-11&x>4\end{array}\right$

continuous at x=4? Why or why not? Choose the correct answer below.

Answer:

(D) Yes, f(x) is continuous at x = 4 because $Lim_{x \to 4}f(x)=f(4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{4}x+1 &x\leq 4\\4x-11&x>4\end{array}\right$

A function to be continuous at some value c in its domain if the following condition holds:

f(c) exists and is defined.

$Lim_{x \to c}$ f(x)$ exists.

$f(c)=Lim_{x \to c}$ f(x)$

At x=4

$f(4)=\dfrac{1}{4}*4+1=2$

$Lim_{x \to 4}f(x)=2$

Therefore: $Lim_{x \to 4}f(x)=f(4)=2$

By the above, the function satisfies the condition for continuity.

The correct option is D.
