Question
Graph the equation and tell if it’s continuous
![**Title:** Graphing a Piecewise-Defined Function
**Description:**
**Function Definition:**
Suppose that the function \( f \) is defined for all real numbers as follows:
\[
f(x) = \begin{cases}
-10 + x^2 & \text{if } -4 \leq x < 4 \\
x + 10 & \text{if } x \geq 4
\end{cases}
\]
**Instructions:**
Graph the function \( f \). Then determine whether or not the function is continuous across its domain.
**Graph Description:**
The graph below should accurately represent the piecewise function defined above. The x-axis ranges from approximately -12 to 12, and the y-axis ranges from about -2 to 12. The graph should depict two distinct segments:
1. **Segment 1:** A parabola opening upwards with the vertex likely below the x-axis, defined by \( -10 + x^2 \) over the interval \(-4 \leq x < 4\).
2. **Segment 2:** A straight line with a positive slope, defined by \( x + 10 \) beginning at \( x = 4 \) and extending towards positive x-values.
Ensure to correctly plot and distinguish these segments with proper domain restrictions. Use open or closed circles as needed to indicate whether endpoints are included in each segment.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/4b2e36ef-961b-444d-a864-96fbb40c42e3/0970820e-8c11-45f0-a58d-78da7539b371/s3kwkap_processed.jpeg)

- Find the valuearrow_forwardDuring Ricardo noticed an ink stain with a diameter of about 3 cm on the front of his teacher’s shirt. He then noticed that there was a pen in the pocket and that the ink blot was continuing to spread across the front of the teacher’s shirt. He estimated that the diameter of the ink blot seemed to be growing by about 0.5 cm every 2 minutes. a) Write an equation for the RADIUS, r, of the ink stain, as a function of time, t. Assume that t = 0 represents the time that Ricardo first noticed the ink stain. b) Write an equation showing the AREA, A, of the ink stain as a function of the time t. (Hint: It might help to first write A as a function of r. ) c) Draw a graph of the function A(t) for 10 minutes. d) At what time is the area of the ink stain about 25 square centimeter?
