Answer:
The x-coordinate of the point changing at ¼cm/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = √(3 + x³)
Point (1,2)
Increment Rate = dy/dt = 3cm/s
To calculate how fast is the x-coordinate of the point changing at that instant?
First, we calculate dy/dx
if y = √(3 + x³)
dy/dx = 3x²/(2√(3 + x³))
At (x,y) = (1,2)
dy/dx = 3(1)²/(2√(3 + 1³))
dy/dx = 3/2√4
dy/dx = 3/(2*2)
dy/dx = ¾
Then we calculate dx/dt
dx/dt = dy/dt ÷ dy/dx
Where dy/dx = ¾ and dy/dt = 3
dx/dt = ¾ ÷ 3
dx/dt = ¾ * ⅓
dx/dt = ¼cm/s
The x-coordinate of the point changing at ¼cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:

The first step of completing the square is writing the expression

as

which expands to

.
We have the first two terms exactly the same with the function we start with:

and

but we need to add/subtract from the last term, 49, to obtain 41.
So the second step is to subtract -8 from the expression

The function in completing the square form is

Part B:
The vertex is obtained by equating the expression in the bracket from part A to zero


It means the curve has a turning point at x = -7
This vertex is a minimum since the function will make a U-shape.
A quadratic function

can either make U-shape or ∩-shape depends on the value of the constant

that goes with

. When

is (+), the curve is U-shape. When

(-), the curve is ∩-shape
Part C:
The symmetry line of the curve will pass through the vertex, hence the symmetry line is

This function is shown in the diagram below
