Answer:

Work done in stretching the spring = 7.56 lb-ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal length of the spring = 8 in or \frac{8}{12} ft

= \frac{2}{3} ft

If the spring has been stretched to 11 inch then the stretched length of the spring is = 11 in

= \frac{11}{12} ft

Force applied to stretch the spring = 12 lb

By Hook's law,

F = kx [where k is the spring constant and x = length by which the spring is stretched]

12 = k(\frac{2}{3})

k = 18

Work done (W) to stretch the spring by \frac{11}{12} ft will be

W = \int\limits^\frac{11}{12} _0 {kx} \, dx

    = \int\limits^\frac{11}{12} _0 {(18x)} \, dx

    = 18[\frac{x^{2}}{2}]^{\frac{11}{12}}_0

    = 9(\frac{11}{12})²

    = 7.56 lb-ft

This is a parabola that opens downward.
Remember that the axis of symmetry is located at x=-b/(2a).
So the vertex is at (3,-1)
So functions slope is positive or increasing on (-co, 3] and decreasing on [3,co).
