g(x)={ ax-3, x<-2
{ x^2 -2x, x>-2

What value would the function g(x) have point discon. at x=-2 how to find?

Answers

Answer 1
Hello, I know this is a little late but been busy and noticed you responded on this and my profile. 

Ok so we want to find what value of a would the function g(x) have point discontinuity at x=-2.

We find this by subsituting -2 where the x is located in the functions x^2 -2x
x^2 -2x
-2^2 - 2(-2) =  8
Now to find a we use ax - 3 and insert -2 for x like the follow 
-2a - 3
Next for the limit to exist both limits have to equal the same so we have
-2a - 3 = 8
Now solve for a
-2a - 3 = 8
-2a - 3 + 3 = 8+3
-2a  = 11
-2a / -2 = 11 / -2
a = -5.5

So when a is at -5.5 the function is continuous and anything > or < will make it discontinuous. So when -5.5 < a < -5.5 a will have discontinuity.

The team manager mixes 0.6 kg of Gatorade powder with water in the 5-gallon water coolers for the football team. Gatorade donates new 7-gallon water jugs. How much powder should the manager use in a new 7-gallon cooler to maintain the same Gatorade mixture?

Answers

Since it's 0.6 kg for 5 gallons, we'd want to find the unit rate aka the amount of kg's per gallon. To find that, we have to see how many times 5 goes into 0.6, which is 0.6/5=0.12 for 1 gallon. Multiply that by 7 to get 0.84 for 7 gallons!

A car travels 182 miles in 3 hours and 15 minutes. How many miles does it travel per hour?

Answers

To solve this, we'll use the formula distance=rate*time. There's just one problem here: we need all of our time to be in the same units. Let's convert the 15 minutes into hours:
[tex]15min*\frac{1hour}{60min}=0.25hr[/tex]

Then we just use the formula:
[tex]d=182*0.25[/tex]
15 minutes = 15/60 = 0.25 hrs + the 3 hrs = 3.25 hrs

182 / 3.25 = 56 miles per hr

A road trip of 400 miles require a total of 8 hours to drive. For the first portion of the trip, an average speed of 63 miles per hour was maintained; on the last portion of the trip, the average speed was only 443 miles per hour due to highway construction project. How much time, in hours, to the nearest tenth of an hour, was spent driving at each of the two speeds, and what was the total time for the entire trip?

Answers

2.8 hours at 63 mph 5.2 hours at 43 mph Total time spent driving = 8.0 hours. I'm assuming based upon context that your value of 443 miles per hour is a typo and the correct value is 43 miles per hour. The solution provided is for the two speeds of 63 mph and 43 mph. First make an expression detailing what you know. X = duration spent at 63 mph (8 - X) = duration spent at 43 mph 63X + 43(8-X) = 400 Solve for X 63X + 43(8-X) = 400 63X + 344 - 43X = 400 63X - 43X = 56 20X = 56 X = 2.8 So you spent 2.8 hours at 63 mph and 8-2.8 = 5.2 hours at 43 mph

2. During a 5-day training at your department, the number of visitors tripled each day. If the training started on a Monday with 345 attendees, what was the attendance on Thursday?

Answers

Monday/345
345×3=
Tuesday/1,035
1,035×3=
Wendsday/3,105
3,105×3
Thursday=9,315

The number of attendance on Thursday would be 9,315.

Given that,

During a 5-day training at your department, the number of visitors tripled each day.

Here, the training started on a Monday with 345 attendees.

Hence, the number of visitors on Tuesday is 3 times with 345 attendees.

That is, On Tuesday;

Number of attendees = 345 x 3

                                     = 1,035

On Wednesday;

Number of attendees = 1,035 x 3

                                     = 3,105

On Thursday;

Number of attendees = 3,105 x 3

                                     = 9,315

It takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls. How many minutes does it take 6 people to paint 7 walls?

Answers

it takes 35 mins for 6 people to paint 7 walls if you would like this answer described to you let me know please 

Answer:

It will take 42 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we first have to calulate how long will it take one person to paint one wall:

54/6=9minutes

That is between 4 people it will take 9 minutes to paint a wall, one person alone supposing they all work at the same rate will take 36 minutes.

Now we just multiply that by the number of walls to be painted:

36*7=252

And we divide that by the number of people painting:

252/6=42

So it will take 42 minutes to paint 7 walls with 6 people painting.

Shantel is studying for her history test. After 20 minutes she is 1/4 of the way done. How much longer will she study?

Answers

Shantel will need to study for 60 minutes more to complete her history review.

Shantel is studying history and after 20 minutes, she is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  of the way done.

To determine how much longer she will study, we need to calculate how much time is needed to complete the remaining [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of her study time.

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the study done in 20 minutes means she will study for 4 * 20 = 80 minutes in total.

To find out how much longer she needs to study, subtract the time she has already studied (20 minutes) from the total study time (80 minutes): 80 - 20 = 60 minutes.

Therefore, Shantel will need to study for 60 minutes more to complete her history review.

If u, v, and w are nonzero vectors in r 2 , is w a linear combination of u and v?

The floor of a one-story building is 14 feet longer than it is wide. The building has 1715 square feet of floor space. Find the length l and width w of the floor.

Answers

        w=widthlength=w+14A=lww(w+14)= 1395w(w+14)-1395=0w2+14w-1395=01395=3x3x5x31 and (3x3x5)-31=45-31=14(w+45)(w-31)=0w-31=0w=31w+14=31+14=45length=45 feetwidth=31 feet

Final answer:

To find the floor dimensions of a building that is 14 feet longer than it is wide with an area of 1715 sq ft, we solve the quadratic equation w * (w + 14) = 1715, resulting in w=100 feet and length l=114 feet.

Explanation:

The student is asked to find the length (l) and width (w) of a one-story building floor which is 14 feet longer than it is wide, with a total area of 1715 square feet. To solve this, we set up an equation where w represents the width and w + 14 feet represents the length. Since the area of a rectangle is length times width, the equation is w * (w + 14) = 1715.

After solving this quadratic equation, we find that w=100 feet which makes the length l = w + 14 = 114 feet. Therefore, the actual dimensions of the building are 114 ft by 100 feet.

The distance d that a certain particle moves may be calculated from the expression d = at + bt2 where a and b are constants; and t is the elapsed time. what must the dimensions of the quantities a and b be, respectively?

Answers

Guven that the distance d that a certain particle moves may be calculated from the expression [tex]d = at + bt^2[/tex] where a and b are constants; and t is the elapsed time.

Distance is a length and hence the dimension of distance is L.

Now, [tex]at[/tex] and [tex]bt^2[/tex] also will have the dimension of L.

Time has a dimension of T.

For [tex]at[/tex], let the dimension of [tex]a[/tex] be [tex]X[/tex], then
[tex]XT=L \\ \\ \Rightarrow X=\frac{L}{T}[/tex]

For [tex]bt^2[/tex], let the dimension of [tex]b[/tex] be [tex]Y[/tex], then
[tex]YT^2=L \\ \\ \Rightarrow Y= \frac{L}{T^2} [/tex]

Therefore, the dimension of [tex]a[/tex] is [tex]\frac{L}{T}[/tex] while the dimension of [tex]b[/tex] is [tex]\frac{L}{T^2}[/tex].

720,808 in expanded form with exponents

Answers

Wow!  Lot of figuring for us to do here!
You'll need to determine how many times 2 is a factor of 720808, how many times 3 is a factor, and so on.

Suppose that 2 were a factor 6 times (just an example).

You'd write this particular factor of 720808 as 2^6.

The number 720,808 in expanded form with exponents is written as:

[tex]\[ 7 \times 10^5 + 2 \times 10^4 + 8 \times 10^2 + 8 \times 10^0 \][/tex]

To express 720,808 in expanded form with exponents, We break it down by place value and then represent each term using powers of 10. The breakdown is as follows:

700,000  : [tex]7 \times 10^5 \\[/tex]

20,000  : [tex]2 \times 10^4 \\[/tex]

800  : [tex]8 \times 10^2 \\[/tex]

8  : [tex]8 \times 10^0[/tex]

When we combine these, we get the expanded form:

[tex]\[ 7 \times 10^5 + 2 \times 10^4 + 8 \times 10^2 + 8 \times 10^0 \][/tex]

This representation helps in understanding the value of each digit based on its position in the number.
