e^x if 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
4 − x if x > 1
x = (smaller value)
continuous from the right, or continuous from the left, or neither

Using continuity concepts, the answers are given by:

  • The function is right-continuous at x = 0.
  • The function is left-continuous at x = 1.

------------------------------------

A function f(x) is continuous at x = a if:

\lim_{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x) = f(a)

  • If \lim_{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x) = f(a), the function is left-continuous.
  • If \lim_{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x) = f(a), the function is right-continuous.
  • For the given function, the continuity is tested at the points in which the definitions are changed, x = 0 and x = 1.

------------------------------------

At x = 0.

  • Approaching from the left, it is less than 0, thus:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} x + 9 = 0 + 9 = 9

  • Approaching from the right, it is more than 0, thus:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} e^x = e^0 = 1

  • The numeric value is:

f(x) = e^0 = 1

  • Since [tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} f(x) = f(0), the function is right-continuous at x = 0.

------------------------------------

At x = 1.

\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} e^x = e^1 = e

\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} 4 - x = 4 - x = 3

f(1) = e^1 = e

  • Since [tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^-} f(x) = f(1), the function is left-continuous at x = 0.

12x+15y=-45 put into slope-intercept form, simplify all fractions.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

y = -4/5 x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

15y = -45 - 12x

5y = -15 - 4x

y = -4/5 x - 3
