jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
focus on each piece individually
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
is y = 2-x continuous?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how about y = x^2 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No , its a parabola right

@jim_thompson5910
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
why wouldn't it be continuous?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
all parabolas are continuous
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how about the last piece?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes it is
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
now focus on each junction
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
let's say we have these three functions
f(x) = 2-x
g(x) = x^2
h(x) = 6+x
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
when the first 2 pieces connect, f and g, they connect at the junction x = -2 if and only if f(-2) = g(-2)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what are f(-2) and g(-2) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
The function ?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
f(-2) = ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(-2) = 2-(-2)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
simplify that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(-2)=4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is g(-2)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is it equal to
OpenStudy (anonymous):
g(-2)=4
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so that proves the two functions f(x) and g(x) connect at x = -2
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
here is visual proof of that

Okay so now i find the range of that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What about the third function
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you have to determine if the second piece (g(x)) connects to the third piece (h(x))
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
use the same basic idea you used before (when you showed how f(x) and g(x) connect)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so h(-2)=4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
we're not at x = -2 anymore
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
notice how the junction between g(x) and h(x) is at x = 3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
I'll be right back
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait this expires in like half an hour please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
My assignmet expires soon

OpenStudy (anonymous):
h(3)=9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
h(3)=9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is that right
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
h(3) = 9, yes
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
g(3) = ???
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
g(3)=9
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so that proves g(x) and h(x) connect at x = 3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
This graph shows the graph is continuous everywhere
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay I see so now do we find the range or
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
we don't need to find the range

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
they don't ask for that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh ok well how do i put this in set notation?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
they want the answer in interval notation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah its in the attachment
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how do we say "the set of all real numbers" in interval notation?

(- infinity , infinity)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that's your answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
YES IT WAS RIGHT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP !! :D
