At any local Max's or min's the derivative graph will cut the x axis.
For example a graph x^2 The derivative will have a positive gradient as the gradient is increasing at the lower values then at x=0 the gradient is 0 so the derivative graph will pass the point (0,0). Remember that the derivative graph will be linear.
To get more detail find the points the graph crosses the x axis and put into for a(x-q)(x-p)=0 you will have to solve for 'a' by finding a point on the graph and substituting it in. Then you can find the derivative of that function and graph it
Answer: If the measures of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional then the triangles are similar. Likewise if the measures of two sides in one triangle are proportional to the corresponding sides in another triangle and the including angles are congruent then the triangles are similar.
For a 30 ft electric line to be placed between two 20ft electric poles, it would take 15 ft of the electric line to go down to about 5 ft above the ground and another 15 ft of the line to go to the top of the second electric pole. This means that a total of 30ft (15 ft + 15 ft) electric line would be needed which is all the cable we have.
For this to be possible then the poles must be adjacent to each other (i.e. no distance between them).
