Answer:
x+1 , x<-1
x²-bx-4 , -1≤x≤4
1/2 x +a
substitute x=-1 , continuous everywhere
x+1=x²-bx-4 when x=-1
-1+1=-1²-b-4
<h2>1+b-4=0 ⇒ +b-3 ⇒ b=3</h2>
then for :
x²-bx-4=1/2 x +a for x=4
4²-4b-4=1/2x+a
16-4(3)-4=4/2+a
16-12-4-2=a
<h2>a=-2</h2>
the equations will be :
x+1
x²-3x-4
1/2x-2
I hope this help
Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-1 - 4)/(4 - (-3)) = -5/(4 + 3) = -5/7
- 1 1/3 - 2 1/5
= -4/3 - 11/5
= -20/15 - 33/15
= -53/15
= -3 8/15 mg/L
The pattern is *2 +3 *2 +3 *2 +3 .... 1 *2 = 2 , 2+3 = 5 , 5 *2 = 10, 10 +3 = 13, 13*2 = ?...
