Shontal is at a distance of 13 meters from the launching point

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

Distance of Travis from the launching point  = 12 meters

Distance of Shontal from the launching point = 9 meters

Step 2 :

Let A represent the launching point

B represent the point above the launching point at which the balloon is floating.

C represent the point where Shontal stands on the ground.

The angle made by AB with BC is 90 degrees because the balloon is directly above the launching point

Step 3:

So we have a right angle triangle here, with

AB = 12

BC = 9 and angle ABC = 90 degrees

We need to find out length of  AC

Using the theorem of Pythagoras,

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = 12² + 9² = 144 + 25 = 169 = 13

Step 4 :

Answer :

Shontal stands at a distance of 13 meters from the launching point

Let f be the function given by f(x) = x+4(x−1)(x+3) on the closed interval [−5,5]. On which closed interval is the function f gu
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x+4(x^2+2x-3)=4x^2+9x-12

f'(x)=8x+9

f'(x)=0,gives x=-9/8

f(-5)=-5+4(-5-1)(-5+3)=-5+4*-6*-2=43

f(-9/8)=-9/8+4(-9/8-1)(-9/8+3)

=-9/8+4*-17/8*15/8

=-9/8-255/16

=-273/16=-17 1/16

f(5)=4*5^2+9*5-12=100+45-12=133

absolute maximum=133

absolute minimum=-17 1/16
