Answer:

a. 5 units

b. 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The path the dolphin Travels can be  modelled by h = -0.2d^2 + 2d where  h represents the height of the dolphin and d  represents horizontal distance.

To find: maximum height that the dolphin reaches and the distance covered by dolphin

Solution:

h = -0.2d^2 + 2d

Differentiate with respect to d

\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} d}=-0.4d+2

To find the critical point, put \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} d}=0

d=\frac{2}{0.4}\\=\frac{20}{4}\\=5 \,\,units

Differentiate \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} d} again with respect to d

\frac{\mathrm{d^2} h}{\mathrm{d} d^2}=-0.4

So, d=5 is a point of maxima

h(5) = -0.2(5)^2 + 2(5)\\=-0.2(25)+10\\=-5+10\\=5\,\,units

a. 5 units

b. 5 units

Abbot Tools is designing a new toolbox. The length of the toolbox will be three times its width, w, and the length of the diagon
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The length and width of the toolbox given the diagonal is 45 inches and 15 inches respectively.

<h3>Triangle</h3>

  • Width of the triangle = w
  • Length of the triangle = 3w
  • Diagonal = 30 inches

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

30² = w² + (3w²)

30² = 4w²

900 = 4w²

w² = 900/4

= 225

w = √225

w = 15

Therefore,

Width of the triangle = w

= 15 inches

Length of the triangle = 3w

= 3(15)

= 45 inches
