<h2>Answer:</h2>

yes

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

This is a piecewise-defined function because it is defined by two or more equations over a specified domain is. The graph of this function is shown below. So this functions is continuous because its graph is a single unbroken curve. So the function is defined be the line 3x - 2 when x = 3 and the output here is y = 7

Answer:

A. Yes, the function is continuous at x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function,

f(x)=\left \{{{3x-2}, x\leq 3 \atop {10-x}, x\geq 3} \right

We will now find the left side and right side limit of f(x) as x\rightarrow 3

So, we have,

Left side limit is \lim_{x \to 3^{-}} f(x).

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{-}} f(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} f(3-h)

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{-}} f(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} 3(3-h)-2

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{-}} f(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} 9-3h-2

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{-}} f(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} 7-3h

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{-}} f(x)= 7

Right side limit is \lim_{x \to 3^{+}} f(x).

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{+}} f(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} f(3+h)

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{+}} f(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} 10-(3+h)

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{+}} f(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} 10-3-h

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{+}} f(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} 7-h

i.e. \lim_{x \to 3^{+}} f(x)= 7

Thus, the left side limit and the right side limit are equal.

Hence, the function is continuous at x = 3.

Scientists modeled the intensity of the sun, I, as a function of the number of hours since 6:00 a.m., h, using the
MAVERICK [17]

The functions are illustrations of composite functions.

<em>The soil temperature at 2:00pm is 67</em>

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{I(h) =\frac{12h - h^2}{36}} ---- the function for sun intensity

\mathbf{T(I) =\sqrt{5000I}} -- the function for temperature

At 2:00pm, the value of h (number of hours) is:

\mathbf{h = 2:00pm - 6:00am}

\mathbf{h = 8}

Substitute 8 for h in \mathbf{I(h) =\frac{12h - h^2}{36}}, to calculate the sun intensity

\mathbf{I(8) =\frac{12 \times 8 - 8^2}{36}}

\mathbf{I(8) =\frac{32}{36}}

\mathbf{I(8) =\frac{8}{9}}

Substitute 8/9 for I in \mathbf{T(I) =\sqrt{5000I}}, to calculate the temperature of the soil

\mathbf{T(8/9) =\sqrt{5000 \times 8/9}}

\mathbf{T(8/9) =\sqrt{4444.44}}

\mathbf{T(8/9) =66.67}

Approximate

\mathbf{T(8/9) =67}

Hence, the soil temperature at 2:00pm is 67

3. A submarine dives at an
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The height of deepness of submarine is 424.1 feet  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The angle at which submarine drives of the surface of water = Ф = 13°

The speed at which submarine travel = s = 760 feet per minute

Let The height of deepness of submarine = h feet

The time taken to reach that deepness = t = 5 minutes

<u>According to question</u>

The height of deepness of submarine = \dfrac{\textrm speed}{\textrm time}

i.e h × cos(90 - Ф) = \dfrac{s}{t}

Or,  h × Sin(Ф) = \dfrac{\textrm 760 feet per min}{8 min}

Or,  h × Sin(13°) = 95 feet

Or,   h × 0.224 = 95 feet

∴  h = \dfrac{95}{0.224}

i.e h = 424.10 feet

So, The height of deepness of submarine = h = 424.10 feet

Hence, The height of deepness of submarine is 424.1 feet  Answer
