Answer to Problem 49E
Continuous
Explanation of Solution
It is known that x represents the capacity (in gallons) of first jug and A represents the number of jugs filled of first size
So, the expression
Also it is known that y represents the capacity (in gallons) of second jug and B represents the number of jugs filled of second size
So, the expression
Thus, the expression
Since, jugs can hold any amount of water, the expression is continuous.
