An icicle drips at a rate that can be represented by the function f(x) = −x2 + 11x − 18, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and x is the number of

hours after the sun has risen. When f(x) is a negative number, the icicle is not dripping. Determine the values when the icicle starts and stops dripping.

Calculate f(x) for all numbers between 0 and 10:

f(0) = −0^2 + 11(0) − 18 = -18

f(1) = −1^2 + 11(1) − 18 = -8

f(2) = −2^2 + 11(2) − 18 = 0

f(3) = −3^2 + 11(3) − 18 = 6

f(4) = −4^2 + 11(4) − 18 = 10

f(5) = −5^2 + 11(5) − 18 = 12

f(6) = −6^2 + 11(6) − 18 = 12

f(7) = −7^2 + 11(7) − 18 = 10

f(8) = −8^2 + 11(8) − 18 = 6

f(9) = −9^2 + 11(9) − 18 = 0

f(10) = −10^2 + 11(10) − 18 = -8

When the value is negative it doesn't drip, so it starts and stops dripping when the values = 0

Which is f(2) and f(9), the values are 2 and 9.

A dog is standing 12 feet from a tree looking at a bird in the tree. the angle of elevation from the dog to the bird is 50°. how
jasenka [17]
The distance of the bird from the ground will be given by:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
θ=50°
opposite=h
adjacent=12 ft
plugging in the values in the formula we get:
tan 50=h/12
thus
h=12tan50
h=14.301 ft
=14.3 ft
