Answer:

18 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in elevations is ...

-12 -(-30) = -12 +30 = 30 -12 = 18 . . . feet

The ray is 18 feet above the whale.

Identify the functions that are continuous on the set of real numbers and arrange them in ascending order of their limits as x t

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

g(x)<j(x)<k(x)<f(x)<m(x)<h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $f(x)=\frac{x^2+x-20}{x^2+4}$

The denominator of f is defined for all real values of x

Therefore, the function is continuous on the set of real numbers

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x^2+x-20}{x^2+4}=\frac{25+5-20}{25+4}=\frac{10}{29}=0.345$

3. $h(x)=\frac{3x-5}{x^2-5x+7}$

$x^2-5x+7=0$

It cannot be factorize .

Therefore, it has no real values for which it is not defined .

Hence, function h is defined for all real values.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{3x-5}{x^2-5x+7}=\frac{15-5}{25-25+7}=\frac{10}{7}=1.43$

2. $g(x)=\frac{x-17}{x^2+75}$

The denominator of g is defined for all real values of x.

Therefore, the function g is continuous on the set of real numbers

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x-17}{x^2+75}=\frac{5-17}{25+75}=\frac{-12}{100}=-0.12$

4. $i(x)=\frac{x^2-9}{x-9}$

x-9=0

x=9

The function i is not defined for x=9

Therefore, the function i is not continuous on the set of real numbers.

5. $j(x)=\frac{4x^2-7x-65}{x^2+10}$

The denominator of j is defined for all real values of x.

Therefore, the function j is continuous on the set of real numbers.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{4x^2-7x-65}{x^2+10}=\frac{100-35-65}{25+10}=0$

6. $k(x)=\frac{x+1}{x^2+x+29}$

$x^2+x+29=0$

It cannot be factorize .

Therefore, it has no real values for which it is not defined .

Hence, function k is defined for all real values.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x+1}{x^2+x+29}=\frac{5+1}{25+5+29}=\frac{6}{59}=0.102$

7. $l(x)=\frac{5x-1}{x^2-9x+8}$

$x^2-9x+8=0$

$x^2-8x-x+8=0$

$x(x-8)-1(x-8)=0$

$(x-8)(x-1)=0$

$x=8,1$

The function is not defined for x=8 and x=1

Hence, function l is not defined for all real values.

8. $m(x)=\frac{x^2+5x-24}{x^2+11}$

The denominator of m is defined for all real values of x.

Therefore, the function m is continuous on the set of real numbers.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x^2+5x-24}{x^2+11}=\frac{25+25-24}{25+11}=\frac{26}{36}=\frac{13}{18}=0.722$

g(x)<j(x)<k(x)<f(x)<m(x)<h(x)

Please solve these! Read the instructions too!

Just graph the coordinates
this picture is the different quadrants on the graph, whichever quadrant the coordinate is in, is what you put in the 2nd column
for example: (-2,-3) is in the 3rd quadrant
if its not in a quadrant its either on x or y axis, so its just on the line, and i assume you know which axis is which

for number 4. You just do subtraction, and then if its negative, it becomes positive since its asking for the absolute value
for example: |-24-11| > |-35| > 35
