Y, in terms of time the rain fell, x. The time is measured in hours after 12:00 P. M., with x=0 corresponding to the time 12:00 P. M. Explain the meaning of the point (0,0) in the context of this problem.

At the time measurement starts i.e. initially there was no rainfall i.e. y value is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

y, in terms of time the rain fell, x.

Now, x is measured in hours after 12 : 00 P.M., with x = 0 corresponding to the time 12 : 00 P.M.

Therefore, the ordered pair (x,y) ≡ (0,0) means that at the time measurement starts i.e. at 12 : 00 P. M. there was no rainfall i.e. y value is zero. (Answer)

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
