Step-by-step explanation:
Given Will ran the diagonal distance across a square field measuring 40 yards each sides .
∴The distance covered by Will was = yards
= yards=56.56 yards
Again James ran diagonal distance across a rectangle field with a length of 25 yards and a width of 35 yards.
So,distance covered by James was = yards
= yards = 43.01 yards
∴Will ran longer distance.
∴Will ran 13.55 yards more than James.
Given function:
The minimum value of the function can be found by setting the first derivative of the function to zero.
Solving for x:
Substituting the value of x into the original function:
Hence, the minimum value in the given range is (-1, -0.368)
