We can Notice from the Diagram that the Ladder with Wall Forms a Right Angled Triangle.

We know that In A Right Angles Triangle :

(Hypotenuse)² = (First Leg)² + (Second Leg)²

Here the Hypotenuse is the Length of Ladder and One of the Leg is Length away from the Wall

Substituting the Respective Values, We get :

⇒ 5² + (Second Leg)² = 13²

⇒ 25 + (Second Leg)² = 169

⇒ (Second Leg)² = 169 - 25

⇒ (Second Leg)² = 144

⇒ Second Leg = 12 Feet

⇒ The Ladder reaches a Height of 12 Feet

Option C is the Answer

You are solving for the height. Use the formula:

c² - b² = a²      in which c = hypotenuse

(13)² - (5)² = a²

Simplify

169 - 25 = a²

144 = a²

Isolate the a. Root both sides

√144 = √a²

a = √144

a = √(12 x 12)

a = 12

C) 12 feet is your answer

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Minimum 8 at x=0, Maximum value: 24 at x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Retrieving data from the original question:

f(x)=x^{2}+8\:over\:[-1,4]

1) Calculating the first derivative

f'(x)=2x

2) Now, let's work to find the critical points

Set this

2x=0\\x=0    

0, belongs to the interval. Plug it in the original function

f(0)=(0)^2+8\\f(0)=8

3)  Making a table x, f(x) then compare

x|  f(x)

-1 | f(-1)=9  

0 | f(0)=8   Minimum

4 | f(4)=24 Maximum

4) The absolute maximum value is 24 at x=4 and the absolute minimum value is 8 at x=0.
