Hi there!
We can find the values of x for which f(x) is decreasing by finding the derivative of f(x):
Taking the derivative gets:
Find the values for which f'(x) < 0 (less than 0, so f(x) decreasing):
0 = -8/x³ - 2
2 = -8/x³
2x³ = -8
x³ = -4
Another critical point is also where the graph has an asymptote (undefined), so at x = 0.
Plug in points into the equation for f'(x) on both sides of each x value to find the intervals for which the graph is less than 0:
f'(1) = -8/1 - 2 = -10 < 0
f'(-1) = -8/(-1) - 2 = 6 > 0
f'(-2) = -8/-8 - 2 = -1 < 0
Thus, the values of x are:
Answer:
Length of the shadow of the pole is 6.93 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of the pole = 4 m
The angle sun makes with the horizontal = 30 degrees
To Find:
Length of the shadow of the pole = ?
Solution:
The tangent ratio is the value received when the length of the side opposite of angle theta is divided by the length of the side adjacent to angle theta
Let x be the length of the shadow
According to the tangent ratio
On substituting the values,
x = 6.93 m
