the complete question in the attached figure
part A
the x intercept 0 is the point where the ball was hit, the x intercept 20 is the point where the ball fell back to the ground, 20 feet away from the kicker.
<span>the function is increasing in the interval x∈(0, 10) and decreasing in x∈(10, 20) </span>
this means that the height is increasing in the interval (0, 10) and decreasing as x goes through the interval (10,20)
the distance from the kicker is increasing during the whole interval (0, 20)
part B
the rate of change represents the slope of the secant line from A to B. It approximates the rate at which f(x) decreases or increases in the interval
x =[A, B]
Answer:
BM: <u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> with segment length of 2.77
Step-by-step explanation:
AC formula: m = (6-0)/(0-4) = -3/2
(y-0)/(x-4) = -3/2 y = (-3/2)x + 6 ... (1)
BM slope: BM⊥ AC m = 2/3
BM formula: (y-4) / (x- -2) = (y-4) / (x+2) = 2/3
y-4 = 2/3 x + 4/3
<u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> ... (2) -2≤x≤0.31
intercept of AC and BM (M) from (1) and (2): (-3/2)x + 6 = (2/3) x + 16/3
(13/6) x = 2/3 x = (2/3) / (13/6) = 4/13 ≈ 0.31
y = (2/3) (4/13) + (16/3) = (8/39) + (208/39) = 216/39 = 72/13 ≈ 5.54
M (4/13 , 72/13) or (0.31 , 5.54)
segment BM = √(4/13 - -2)² + (72/13 - 4)² = √1300/169 = 2.77
