The change occurred at t=3 seconds.
So at t<3 seconds, V(t)=2 volts
at t>3 seconds, V(t)=? volts
Discontinuity is at t=?
For t < _____ , V(t) = _____
For t ¡Ý _____, V(t) = _____
At what point or points is your function discontinuous?
t = ______
So at t<3 seconds, V(t)=2 volts
at t>3 seconds, V(t)=? volts
Discontinuity is at t=?
T>8 V(t) =18
t=8
For t < 3 seconds, V(t) = 2 volts (from the 2 volt battery).
For t ≥ 3 seconds, V(t) = 20 volts (after switching to the 20 volt battery).
So, now let's recap:
For t < 3, V(t) = 2.
For t ≥ 3, V(t) = 20.
Hmm, as for the discontinuity, it occurs at t = 3 seconds, where the battery voltage suddenly jumps from 2 volts to 20 volts. It's like the circuit got a shock of energy! Yikes!
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more shocking questions!
Initially, the circuit is connected to a 2 volt battery. Hence, for t < 3 seconds, the voltage remains constant at 2 volts.
Next, at t = 3 seconds, the circuit switches instantaneously to a 20 volt battery. From this point onward (t ≥ 3 seconds), the voltage remains constant at 20 volts.
Therefore, the graph can be sketched as follows:

Now, let's fill in the formulas for the function represented by the graph:
For t < 3 seconds, V(t) = 2 volts.
For t ≥ 3 seconds, V(t) = 20 volts.
The function is discontinuous at t = 3 seconds because there is an abrupt change in voltage at this point.
