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:
0.049168726 light-years
Step-by-step explanation:
The apparent brightness of a star is
where
<em>L = luminosity of the star (related to the Sun) </em>
<em>d = distance in ly (light-years) </em>
The luminosity of Alpha Centauri A is 1.519 and its distance is 4.37 ly.
Hence the apparent brightness of Alpha Centauri A is
According to the inverse square law for light intensity
where
light intensity at distance
light intensity at distance
Let be the distance we would have to place the 50-watt bulb, then replacing in the formula
Remark: It is worth noticing that Alpha Centauri A, though is the nearest star to the Sun, is not visible to the naked eye.
