a) We kindly invite to check the image attached below to see a detailed graph of the piecewise function.

b) The piecewise function is continuous.

A piecewise function is a conditional combination of two or more functions, whose expression depends on which value of the domain is the function evaluated at.

a) The piecewise function described in the question is plotted on a graphing tool (i.e. Desmos), whose result is presented in the image attached below.

b) A function is continuous if and only if there is one value from range for every value of domain. The piecewise function is continuous as linear functions are continuous and the two functions of the conditional combination have the same value for x = 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

a lot of typos in the problem description.

I assume the price of the mix is 1:1 related to the prices of the individual types of coffee.

so, from what I understood we can define

x = pounds of the first type of coffee.

y = pounds of the second type of coffee.

x + y = 21 pounds

1.4x + 2.95y = 2.6(x + y) = 2.6×21 = $54.60

in the second equation we have to bring the given "$2.60 per pound" to the total price, which is $2.60 times the total amount of pounds (which is 21).

from the first equation we get

x = 21 - y

and that we use in the second equation

1.4×(21 - y) + 2.95y = 54.6

29.4 - 1.4y + 2.95y = 54.6

1.55y = 25.2

y = 25.2 / 1.55 = 16.25806452... ≈ 16.26 pounds

x = 21 - y = 4.741935484... ≈ 4.74 pounds

so, he should mix 4.74 pounds of the first (cheaper) type and 16.26 pounds of the second (expensive) type.

Using the linear equation, Miguel must work for 160 hours to receive $10,000 in total pay

Miguel works as a technician in a company. If his hourly rate and flat pay are $50 and $2000, how many hours must Miguel worked to receive $10,000 in total pay?

Let the number of hours be x and the total pay be y.

The equation that represents the total pay is represented as:

y = Rate * x + Base pay

From the question, we have:

Base pay = 2000

rate = 50.

So, we have:

10000 = 50 * x + 2000

Subtract 2000 from both sides

8000 = 50x

Divide both sides by 50

x = 160

Hence, Miguel must work for 160 hours

Answer:

I. Evaluate the largest angle when x = 15

Explanation:

First, solve for x:

x + 8x + x + 30 = 180

10x = 180 - 30

10x = 150

x = 15

Here in the question, his friend wants to find the largest angle in triangle.

So, input x = 15 in the largest angle.

Which is, 8x = 8(15) = 120° <--- largest angle in the triangle.

The amplitude of the function is 3/2 after comparing with the general equation option (C) is correct.

It is defined as the function which is in the form of cosine waves in nature, and it has a domain of all real numbers and lies between the [a, a] where is a amplitude of the function.

We have a cos function:

y = 3/2 cos(3x) + 1

We know,

f(x) = acos(bx - c) + d

The above function represents the cos function where:

a = amplitude

b = is the period of the function

c = phase shift

d = vertical shift

On comparing we get:

a = 3/2

Thus, the amplitude of the function is 3/2 after comparing with the general equation option (C) is correct.
