For a function to be continuous at an x-value of -3 you need to make sure two things line up:

First, we need to show that the limit from the left equals the limit from the right.

     \lim_{x \to -3^{-}} f(x) =  \lim_{x \to -3^{+}} f(x)

Second, we need to show that this limit equals the functions value.

    \lim_{x \to -3} f(x) = f(-3)

The left hand limit involves the first piece, f(x) = x^2 - 9:

    \begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -3^{-}} f(x) &=  \lim_{x \to -3^{-}} (x^2-9)\\[0.5em]&=   (-3)^2-9\\[0.5em]&=   0\endaligned}

The right hand limit invovles the second piece, f(x) = 0:

    \begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -3^{+}} f(x) &=  \lim_{x \to -3^{+}} (0)\\[0.5em]&=   0\endaligned}

Since the two one-sided limits do match, we can just say:

    \lim_{x \to -3} f(x)  = 0  

(no one-sided pieces needed now)

So that was step #1, to make sure the limit exists.  Next we need to make sure the limit is headed to the same place where the functions.  Since we're using x=-3, we'll use the top piece of the function because x=-3 fits with that piece ( x ≤ -3 ).

    f(-3) = (-3)^2-9 = 0

From this, we know that \lim_{x \to -3} f(x)  = f(-3), so the function is continuous at -3.  (We also know parabolas and lines are continuous in general, so we only needed to check where the two pieces came together at x = -3.)

Three people invest in a treasure dive, each investing the amount listed below. The dive results in 40 gold coins. Apportion tho
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the dive results in 40 gold coins.

We know that:

Alice: $7,600 Ben: $5,900 Carlos: $1,400.

So they have $ 14900 in total.

Now we will divide that money by 40.

x=\frac{14900}{40}\\\\x=372.5

So 1 gold coin costs $ 372.5. Now we will calculate how much they can get for the money they have.

A=\frac{7600}{372.5}=20.4\\\\B=\frac{5900}{372.5}=15.8\\\\C=\frac{1400}{372.5}=3.75\\

We conclude that:

Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.

I need to find the area of the shaded region
spin [16.1K]
Well first find the area of the semi-circle. 

If the area of a cricle is equal to pi*radius^2 , then you can just find that and divide by 2.

So, A = pi*2^2. = 4pi

We know that the radius is 2 because the length of the side of the rectangle is 4, meaning that the diameter of the semi-circle is 4, and so the radius is 2 as it is half of the diameter. 

We can easily calculate the area of the rectangle, which is
 Length * width = 6*4 = 24.

Next we divide 4pi by 2 in order to get the area of the semi-circle, giving us an area of 2pi

We can just subtract 2pi from 24 and get the area of the shaded region.

Area of the shaded region (answer): 17.7
