Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
I enter the equation into a graphing calculator and let it do the graphing.
___
If you're graphing this by hand, you start by looking for the parent function. Here, it is |x|. That has a vertex of (0, 0) and a slope of +1 to the right of the vertex and a slope of -1 to the left of the vertex.
Here, the function is multiplied by -3/2, so will open downward and have slopes of magnitude 3/2 (not 1). The graph has been translated 5 units upward, so the vertex is (0, 5).
I'd start by plotting the vertex point at (0, 5), then identifying points with slope ±3/2 either side of it. To the left, it is left 2 and down 3 to (-2, 2). The points on the right of the vertex are symmetrically located about the y-axis, so one of them will be (2, 2).
Of course, you don't plot any function values for x > 4.
Answer:
L = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you are trying to find L
P = 2L + 2W
P = 32
32 = 2L + 2W
W = 7
32 = 2L + (2 × 7)
32 = 2L + 14
2L = 32 - 14
2L = 18
L = 9
2018 is the 70th term of the progression.
Explanation
We start out finding the common difference of the progression:
46-17 = 29
Now we write the explicit formula for the sequence. It is of the form

We set this equal to 2018 to see if the answer is a whole number. If it is, it will be the term number that gives us 2018:
2018=17+29(n-1)
Using the distributive property,
2018=17+29*n-29*1
2018=17+29n-29
Combine like terms:
2018=29n-12
Add 12 to both sides:
2018+12=29n-12+12
2030=29n
Divide both sides by 29:
2030/29=29n/29
70=n
Since n=70, this means 2018 is the 70th term of the sequence.
Checking the <span>discontinuity at point -4
from the left f(-4) = 4
from the right f(-4) = (-4+2)² = (-2)² = 4
∴ The function is continues at -4
</span>
<span>Checking the <span>discontinuity at point -2
from the left f(-2) = </span></span><span><span>(-2+2)² = 0
</span>from the right f(-2) = -(1/2)*(-2)+1 = 2
∴ The function is jump discontinues at -2
</span>
<span>Checking the <span>discontinuity at point 4
from the left f(4) = </span></span><span><span>-(1/2)*4+1 = -1
</span>from the right f(4) = -1
but there no equality in the equation so,
</span><span>∴ The function is discontinues at 4
The correct choice is the second
point </span>discontinuity at x = 4 and jump <span>discontinuity at x = -2</span>
