We know that
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
c</span>²=a²+b²
c is the <span>length of the diagonal
a=100 yd
b=130 yd
c</span>²=100²+130²-------> c²=26900---------> c=√26900 units----> c=10√269 units
the answer is
the length of the diagonal is 10√269 units or 164.012 units
See the picture for all detail, I have done it by hand.
Few important steps;
-Take the first derivative
-Put it equal to zero
-you get the x value which is equal to 11
-Now for the check that x=11 is the least value or not, take the second derivative
-As, the 2nd derivative is positive so it is the least value
As x=0 in 1964 add 11 to it so at
x=11 we get 1975 so in this year car have least value
The x-intercept for that equation would be -8/3.
The y-intercept for that equation would be 9.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU! ^_^
