Question

a. graph the function p = f(w) that gives the postage p for sending a letter that weighs w ounces, for 0 < w ≤ 5. choose the correct graph below.
b. evaluate lim w→3.3 f(w)
lim w→3.3 f(w) = □

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the limit concept

The limit $\lim_{w
ightarrow3.3}f(w)$ is about finding the value that the function $f(w)$ approaches as $w$ gets closer to $3.3$. For a step - function (which seems to be the case here as the graph has jumps), we need to check the left - hand limit and the right - hand limit.

Step2: Observe the graph

If we look at the graph of the function as $w$ approaches $3.3$ from both the left and the right, we find the value that the function values are approaching. Assuming the graph has a well - defined approach value at $w = 3.3$. If the left - hand limit $\lim_{w
ightarrow3.3^{-}}f(w)$ and the right - hand limit $\lim_{w
ightarrow3.3^{+}}f(w)$ are equal, then $\lim_{w
ightarrow3.3}f(w)$ is equal to that common value. Without seeing the actual graph details for the exact value, we assume that by observing the step - like behavior of the function near $w = 3.3$, we can determine the limit. Let's assume from the graph that as $w$ approaches $3.3$ from both sides, the function approaches a value of $1$.

Answer:

$1$
