Answer: 82.555
Step-by-step explanation: I used a calculator
Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: p(t) = t^2 + 5t + 6.
To find the critical points, differentiate p(t) with respect to t, set the result = to 0, and then solve the resulting equation for t:
p '(t) = 2t + 5 = 0
Solving for t: 2t = -5, and so t = -5/2. (-5/2, p(-5/2)) is the critical point. That evaluates to (-5/2, -0.25). This happens to be the vertex of a parabola that opens up.
Simply divide your wire by 12 and cut off the excess (as it cannot make a full 12-inch section).
27
÷12=2
So you have two 12-inch sections and an additional 3.4-inch section.
AB- 3in.
BC- 5in.
CD- 7.2in.
sorry i don't really have an explanation I just looked at the picture and i guess imagined it in my head? lol sorry but here are the answers I hope that helps at least a little bit :))
