Determine the value of k

Mathematics

Pavel [41]2 years ago

Answer:

k=6

Step-by-step explanation:

For a piecewise function to be continuous, the left-side and right-side limits must be equal to each other. Therefore, the left-side limit of f(x) is 8 because the derivative of 2x^2 is 4x, and then directly substituting x=2 gives us 4(2)=8. Therefore, the right-side limit must also equal 8. Therefore, k must be 6 because 2+6=8.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

Continuous at x = 2

\displaystyle f(x) = \left \{ {{2x^2 \ if \ x < 2} \atop {x + k \ if \ x \geq 2}} \right.

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>k</u></em>

  1. Definition of Continuity:                                                                                   \displaystyle  \lim_{x \to 2^+} 2x^2 =  \lim_{x \to 2^-} x + k
  2. Evaluate limits:                                                                                                  \displaystyle 2(2)^2 =  2 + k
  3. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                         \displaystyle 2(4) =  2 + k
  4. Multiply:                                                                                                             \displaystyle 8 =  2 + k
  5. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                        \displaystyle 6 = k
  6. Rewrite:                                                                                                             \displaystyle k = 6

Answer:

Yes they are congruent

they are congruent by SSS rule that is Side Side Side rule

AD = CD (given side) in the question itself

AB = CB  (given side) in the question itself

Db = BD (common side)

thats why by SSS rule they are congruent

Wen takes a job with a starting salary of $100,000 for the first year. she earns a 3% increase each year. what does s5 represent
steposvetlana [31]
S_{n} = \frac{ a_{1}(1- r^{n})  }{1-r} a_{1} = 100000, r=1.03, n=5
S_{5} = \frac{100000(1- 1.03^{5}) }{1-1.03} = \frac{100000(-.159)}{-.03} =530,000

So after 5 years she is making $530,000.

Hope that helps

Ariel was told the x intercept and the y intercept of a line with a positive slope. Yet, it was impossible for Ariel to find the
alexdok [17]

A line has the following standard equation form:

y = m x + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

 

So if Ariel cannot find the slope, then this would only mean that m = 0, there is no slope. And hence the line is either a straight vertical line or straight horizontal line.

 

Answer:

<span>There is no slope</span>
