Answer:
a) 9000 ft-lb
b) 9000 ft-lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation for the work:
The equation for the work done is given by:
In which F is the force needed and d is the distance. The time does not interfere on the work.
A 300-lb gorilla climbs a tree to a height of 30 ft
This means that
Thus
The work done in both cases is of 9000 ft-lb, as the work is not a function of time.
Answer:
maximum: y = 1
minimum: y = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the function:
y = f(x) = √(1 + x^2 - 2x)
we want to find the minimum and maximum in the segment [0, 1]
First, we evaluate in the endpoints, which are 0 and 1.
f(0) =√(1 + 0^2 - 2*0) = 1
f(1) = √(1 + 1^2 - 2*1) = 0
Now let's look at the critical points (the zeros of the first derivate)
To derivate our function, we can use the chain rule:
f(x) = h(g(x))
then
f'(x) = h'(g(x))*g(x)
Here we can define:
h(x) = √x
g(x) = 1 + x^2 - 2x
Then:
f(x) = h(g(x))
f'(x) = 1/2*( 1 + x^2 - 2x)*(2x - 2)
f'(x) = (1 + x^2 - 2x)*(x - 1)
f'(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + x - 1
this function does not have any zero in the segment [0, 1] (you can look it in the image below)
Thus, the function does not have critical points in the segment.
Then the maximum and minimum are given by the endpoints.
The maximum is 1 (when x = 0)
the minimum is 0 (when x = 1)
