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
