6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this is 3x + 5x + 4x = 600 where x is the same amount of money multiplied by the scalar value to ensure the money is divided in that ratio exactly. That gives us 12x = 600.

x = 50.

The largest value is 5(50) = 250 and

the smallest value is 3(50) = 150.

The difference between these is $100.

Describe the piecewise function below by evaluating the function for given values of the domain

tekilochka [14]

We have a piecewise function.
Therefore, to find the function, we must evaluate each domain separately.
We have then:

For $x \leq -2$ :
The function for this domain is:
$y = -3
$

For $-2 \ \textless \ x \leq 2$ :
The function for this domain is:
$y = mx + b
$
Where,
$b = -3

 m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

 m = (1 - (-7)) / (2 - (-2))$
$m = (1 + 7) / (2 + 2)

 m = 8/4

 m = 2$
Substituting:
$y = 2x - 3
$

For $x\ \textgreater \ 2$ :
The function for this domain is:
$y = 5$
