An icicle drips at a rate that can be represented by the function f(x) = −x2 + 8x − 7, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and x is the number of h

ours after the sun has risen. When f(x) is a negative number, the icicle is not dripping. Determine the values when the icicle starts and stops dripping.

Find when f(x) = 0. By factorizing, we have

-x² + 8x - 7 = - (x - 7) (x - 1) = 0

so either x - 7 = 0 or x - 1 = 0, or simply x = 1 or x = 7.

Split the domain into three intervals, and check the sign of f(x) over each interval at some test point in the interval. The sign will tell you when the icicle is dripping (positive) or not (negative).

• [0, 1) : at x = 0, we have f(0) = -7 < 0

• (1, 7) : at x = 2, we have f(2) = 5 > 0

• (7, 10] : at x = 8, we have f(8) = -7 < 0

This tells us that the icicle is not dripping when 0 ≤ x < 1, begins to drip when x = 1, drips for the duration of 1 < x < 7, stops dripping when x = 7, and keeps on not dripping when 7 < x ≤ 10.
