An object moves along the x-axis, its position at each time t> 0 given by X(t)= 1/4t^4- t^3 + t^2 Determine the time interval
(s), if any, during which the object moves right.
1 answer:
X(t) = 1/4t^4 - t^3 + t^2
For the object to move right, X'(t) < 0
X'(t) = t^3 - 3t^2 + 2t < 0
t(t^2 - 3t + 2) < 0
t(t - 2)(t - 1) < 0
t > 0, t > 2, t < 1
Therefore, required interval is [0, 1] ∪ [2, ∞)

The vertex of the equation is ( -2 , -2 )
The axis of symmetry is x= - 2
use distributive property
0.5 x -10 = -5
0.5 x k = 0.5k
0.5(-10 + k) = 0.5k -5
-29= x + (x + 1)
-29= 2x +1
-30= 2x
-15=x
The answer is -15, -14.
