APPLICATION OF CONTINUITY OF A FUNCTION

Instruction: Solve the given problems on continuity of a function. Show the complete solution.
(30 points)

1. A rancher has 280 feet of fencing material to enclose two adjacent pastures as shown in
the figure.
a. Write the total area � of the two pastures as a function of �.
b. Identify the domain of the function.
c. Show that the function is continuous at its domain.

� � �

� �
Solution:
P=280ft. Conclusion :
W. E.: 3x+4y =280 Therefore the function is
A=lw P= 3l + 4w continuous on its domain
A=xy
P=3x + 4y (0,280/3]

Solve for y:
3x +4y=280 A=x(70-3/4x)-----> function of area
4 4 A=70x-3/4x^2
=70-3//4x
Domain: (equate the fuction to 0)
Solve for x: x(70-3/4x)=0 70x-3/4x^2=0

x=0 70-3/4x=0 Domain:(0, 280/3]

70 = 3/4x 3x+4y=280
3/4 3/4
x=280/3
x=0 x=280/3
3x+4y=280 3x+4y=280
3(0)+4(280/3)=280 3(280/3)+4(0)=280
1120/3=280 280=280

2. A rectangular garden will be placed adjacent to a building. It will be enclosed by wooden

fences using 125 feet of material such that the building will be considered as a boundary
on one of the garden’s side. If � feet is the side of the garden perpendicular to the
building, express the area in square feet of the garden in terms of �. What is the domain
of this function? Show that the function is continuous within its domain.

Solution:
X. E:2x+2y=125 Domain:[0,125/2]
A=lw 2x+2y=125
A=xy x=0 x=125/2
2x+2y=125 2x+2y=125
2(0)+2(125/2)=125 2(125/2)+2(0)=125
Solve for y: 0+125=125 125+0=125
2x+2y=125 (transpose) 125=125 125=125
2y=125-2x
2 2
y=125/2-x Conclusion
Therefore the function f(x) is continuous on its
Solve for x: x(125/2-x) domain [0,125/2].
x=0 125/2-x=0(transpose)
125/2=x

P=125ft.
P=2l+2w
P=2x+2y

A=x(125/2-x)----->function of area
A=125/2x-x^2

Domain: (Equate the function to 0)

125/2-x^2=0
