Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Criteria:

• same number of books on each shelf

 ⇒find a number that divides 58 and 145

• greatest number of books on each shelf

 ⇒find the greatest number that divides 58 and 145

Find the GCF of 58 and 145.

58 = 2 ⋅ 29

145 = 5 ⋅ 29The GCF of 58 and 145 is 29.

Each shelf will contain 29 books.

There are 203 total books (because 58 + 145 = 203).

Divide 203 by 29 to find the number of shelves there should be.

203 / 29 = 7

Therefore, there will be 7 shelves.

Explain why the function is discontinuous at the given number
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

  left limit = 2 ≠ 1/2 = right limit

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is discontinuous if the limit of the function value approaching the point from the left is different than the limit approaching from the right.

Here, the left limit is 2 and the right limit is 1/2. The limits are different, which is why the function is discontinuous at x=-1.
