The ODE is separable:

Integrating both sides gives

Given function is

now we need to find the value of k such that function f(x) continuous everywhere.
We know that any function f(x) is continuous at point x=a if left hand limit and right hand limits at the point x=a are equal.
So we just need to find both left and right hand limits then set equal to each other to find the value of k
To find the left hand limit (LHD) we plug x=-4 into 3x+k
so LHD= 3(-4)+k
To find the Right hand limit (RHD) we plug x=-4 into

so RHD= 
Now set both equal





k=-0.47
<u>Hence final answer is -0.47.</u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x = 8
Coefficient of the x term: 6
Divide it in half: 3
Square it: 3²
Add 3² to both sides of the equation to complete the square and keep the equation balanced:
x² + 6x + 3² = 8 + 3²
(x+3)² = 17
First you divide 39/40
you would get 0.975
