Answer:
It's 3
Step-by-step explanation:
if you go to desmos graphing calculator it'll help you get the solutions for these if you type it in every number and letter and for exponents type ^ its shift then type 6.
For a function to be continuous at an x-value, say -17, you need to make sure two things line up:
The limit from the left equals the limit from the right.

This limit equals the functions value.

The left hand limit involves the first piece, f(x) = 20x + 1:
![\begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -17^{-}} f(x) &= \lim_{x \to -17^{-}} (20x+1)\\[0.5em]&= 20(-17)+1\\[0.5em]&= -339\endaligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%20%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Cto%20-17%5E%7B-%7D%7D%20f%28x%29%20%26%3D%20%20%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Cto%20-17%5E%7B-%7D%7D%20%2820x%2B1%29%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%26%3D%20%20%2020%28-17%29%2B1%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%26%3D%20%20%20-339%5Cendaligned%7D)
The right hand limit invovles the second piece, f(x) = -10x^2:
![\begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} f(x) &= \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} (-10x^2)\\[0.5em]&= -10\cdot (-17)^2\\[0.5em]&= -2890\endaligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%20%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Cto%20-17%5E%7B%2B%7D%7D%20f%28x%29%20%26%3D%20%20%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Cto%20-17%5E%7B%2B%7D%7D%20%28-10x%5E2%29%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%26%3D%20%20%20-10%5Ccdot%20%28-17%29%5E2%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%26%3D%20%20%20-2890%5Cendaligned%7D)
Since the two one-sided limits don't match, the function is not continuous at x=-17.
2x*2 + 6x + 80
First we have to use distribution property
2(x*2 + 3x + 40)=0
Divide 2 to both sides
X*2 + 3x + 40=0
Multiply -1
-x*2 -3x-40=0
Add two numbers to get 3x
Multiply same two numbers that you add to get 40x*2
Add
-8x+5x= -3x
Multiply
-8x . 5x= -40x*2
-x*2-8x+5x-40
(X*2-8x) + (5x-40)
X(x-8)+ 5(X-8)
Common factor
(X-8)(x+5)
This would help you!
The answer is 16 because (-2*-2*-2*-2= 16)
Cable company marked up monthly cost by 6% .New cost = $63.6
cost before increase = 63.6 × 100/106
= $60
