Answer:
The maximum distance traveled is 4.73 meters in 0.23 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the distance traveled with respect to time is given by the function,
.
Now, differentiating this function with respect to time 't', we get,
d'(t)=9.8t-2.3
Equating d'(t) by 0 gives,
9.8t - 2.3 = 0
i.e. 9.8t = 2.3
i.e. t = 0.23 seconds
Substitute this value in d'(t) gives,
d'(t) = 9.8 × 0.23 - 2.3
d'(t) = 2.254 - 2.3
d'(t) = -0.046.
As, d'(t) < 0, we get that the function has the maximum value at t = 0.23 seconds.
Thus, the maximum distance the skateboard can travel is given by,
.
i.e.
.
i.e.
.
i.e.
.
i.e. d(t) = 4.73021
Hence, the maximum distance traveled is 4.73 meters in 0.23 seconds.
Add 5 to both sides of the equation.
x=-14+5
Add -14 and 5.
x=-9
Let's you and me discuss a few things that you already know:
-- What's a y-intercept ?
The y-intercept on a graph is the place where it crosses the y-axis.
-- That's the value of 'x' at the y-intercept ?
The y-intercept is on the y-axis, so 'x' is zero there.
-- Good ! So how would you find the y-intercept of a function ?
You say that x=0 and look at what 'y' is.
-- Very nice. What's the function in this question ?
The function is
f(x) [or 'y'] = x⁴ + 4x³ - 12x² -32x + 64 .
-- Excellent. What's the value oif that function (or 'y') when x=0 ?
It's just 64 .
-- Beautiful.
Are there any answer choices that cross the y-axis at 64 ?
How many are there ?
There's only one.
It's the upper one on the right hand side.
