Answer:
P = (2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
P is a local minimum, so can be found from the upper zero of the derivative.
y' = 0 = 3x^2 -8x +4
0 = (3x -2)(x -2)
x = 2/3, x = 2
So, the x-coordinate of P is 2. The y-coordinate is found by evaluating the function:
y = ((x -4)x +4)x +3 = ((2 -4)2 +4)2 +3 = 3
The coordinates of P are (2, 3).

This problem is better understood with a given figure. Assuming that the flight is in a perfect northwest direction such that the angle is 45°, therefore I believe I have the correct figure to simulate the situation (see attached).
Now we are asked to find for the value of the hypotenuse (flight speed) given the angle and the side opposite to the angle. In this case, we use the sin function:
sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse
sin 45 = 68 miles per hr / flight
flight = 68 miles per hr / sin 45
<span>flight = 96.17 miles per hr</span>
