What do you need help in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

calc:/

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Oh haven't learned that yet.

OpenStudy (phi):

to be continuous you need the two expressions be equal when x=3

OpenStudy (phi):

so I would write down 3x+k= kx^2 - 6 and replace x with 3 to get 9 + k = 9k - 6 and solve for k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.88 right?

OpenStudy (phi):

8k= 15 k= 15/8 k= 1.875 to the nearest 100th, k = 1.88 yes, you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one more question @phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the same type, and i got -2.47, did i do it right?

OpenStudy (phi):

it does not look promising. did you start with 3x+k= kx^2 - 5 and replace x with -4 ? -12 + k = 16k - 5 now solve for k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.47

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, that looks better
