use the definition of countinuity to find the value of k so that the function is continuous for all real numbers

First of all, recall the definition of absolute value:

So if x < 4, then x - 4 < 0, so |x - 4| = -(x - 4), and the first case in h(x) reduces to

Next, in order for h(x) to be continuous at x = 4, the limits from either side of x = 4 must be equal and have the same value as h(x) at x = 4. From the given definition of h(x), we have

Compute the one-sided limits:

• From the left:

• From the right:

If the limits are to be equal, then

-1 = 5k - 16

Solve for k :

-1 = 5k - 16

15 = 5k

k = 3

fabric (square meters)                   cloaks

7                                                           21

4/3                                                         4

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that harry needs 2 square meters of fabric for every 6 wizard cloaks he makes.

1. first of all we will find how many cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric by dividing 6 by 2.

we can see that 3 cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric. now we will multiply 3 by 7 to find number of cloaks made from 7 square meters of fabric.

therefore, harry will make 21 cloaks from 7 square meters of fabric.

2. let us find how many square meters of fabric will be needed to make 4 cloaks.

first of all we will find fabric needed for 1 cloak by dividing 2 by 6.

we can see that fabric needed for 1 cloak is   square meter. now we will multiply   by 4 to find fabric needed for 4 cloaks.
