Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Time taken by steamboat makes the trip=5 hours
Time taken by yacht makes the trip =2.5 hours
Since we have also given that
the yacht is 20 knots faster than the steamboat,
So let the speed of steamboat be x
Let the speed of yacht be x+20
Now, we have given that both boats will travel the same distance ,
So,

Hence,

See picture below for a geometric view.
Let x = height of building
We use basic trigonometry to find x.
The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.
tan(2°) = x/1
Solve for x.
After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get
tan(2°) = x.
We now use the calculator to find x.
In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given function is

When we plug in x=3 into this function, we obtain,

This means that the function is discontinuous at x=3.
We need to simplify the function to obtain,

This implies that,

The graph this function is a straight line that is continuous everywhere.
To graph

we draw the graph of

and leave a hole at x=3.
See diagram in attachment.
Hence the coordinates of hole is
The range is 19-0=19 so therefore your answer is C.
The range is the largest number subtracted by the smallest number.
