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.

Svet_ta [14]
The first container contains 200 mL. The second container contains 7/8 that much so the second container contains 200*7/8. The second container holds 175 mL. Together the containers contain 200+175 mL, so 375 mL in total.
