This function has got this name precisely because of the layout of its graphics. In fact, this graph has jumps of the same size, so it reminds us of the stairs, becauseof that, the graphics that look like this have got such a name.

$$
f(x)=begin{cases}
0 &, 0leq{x}<10\
10 &, 10leq{x}<20\
20 &, 20leq{x}<30\

40 &, 40leq{x}<50\

Exercise 14
Step 1
1 of 1
Adding or subtracting factors to the function $y = x$ makes this function for the value of $k$ move up or down by $y$-axis. The graph shows that even for one function $y = x$ can not be simultaneously connected to the functions $y=5x$ and $y=2x^2$ , so it can not be continuous for one $k$.

#### (a)

For example, for this task we can use $textbf{following function}$ which is made of three parent functions, $y=e^x$, $y=sqrt{x}$ and $y=x$.

$$

e^x &, -4leq{x}<0\
sqrt{x} &, 0leq{x}<4\
x &, {x}geq4\
end{cases}
$$

Step 2
2 of 2
#### (c)

This function is $textbf{discontinuous}$ because all the pieces of
the function not join together at the endpoints of the given intervals.We can see that from previous graph of this function.

#### (d)

We can transform function we made at $(a)$ in the following function and by this transformation we will make continious function:

$$
f(x)=begin{cases}
e^x-1 &, -4leq{x}<0\
sqrt{x} &, 0leq{x}<4\
x-2 &, {x}geq4\
end{cases}
$$

We can see and from the following graph of this transformed function that it is $textbf{continuous}$:
