Determine the value of k

Mathematics

Pavel [41]3 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

A 100-point test has x questions worth 2 points apiece and y questions worth 4 points apiece. Write an equation in Standard Form
Fofino [41]

Answer:

<h3>2x+2y = 100</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of points in the test = 100points

If the test has x questions worth 2 points apiece, then the total number of points for x questions with 2 points each will be 2 * x i.e 2x........  1

Also, if y questions worth 4 points apiece then the total number of points for y questions with 4 points each will be 4 * x i.e 4x ....... 2

Total points = eqn 1 + eqn 2

100 = 2x+ 2y

Rearrange

2x+2y = 100

Hence an equation in Standard Form that would model this situation is 2x+2y = 100

Julissa is running a 10-kilometer race at a constant pace. After running for 18 minutes, she completes 2 kilometers. After runni
allochka39001 [22]

After running for 18 minutes, Julissa completes 2 kilometers. If she is running a 10-kilometer race at a constant pace, then she comletes 1 kilometer after running 9 minutes. Now you can find the distance she run after 1 minute. This is \dfrac{1}{9} km.

Let t be the time in minutes. Then k, the number of kilometers, can be found from proportion:

\dfrac{1}{9}\ km - 1 minute

k km - t minutes.

Thus,

\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{9}}{k}=\dfrac{1}{t},\\ \\k=\dfrac{1}{9}\cdot t.

Answer: k=\dfrac{1}{9}\cdot t.
