A penguin starts on a slide 3 feet above the water. He slides down and glides underwater. The function y=x^2-4x+3 shows his path

where y is his height above or below the water, in feet, and x is the horizontal distance. Complete the square to find the interpret the extreme value (vertex).

Answer:

( 2 , -1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

A penguin starts on a slide 3 feet above the water. He slides down and glides underwater. The function of penguin height above/below the water is given  by:

                                    y = x^2 - 4x + 3

Find:-

-The extreme value (vertex) of the parabolic path

Solution:-

- The vertex ( turning point - minima or maxima ) can be evaluated by taking the first derivative of the given function and setting it equal to zero.

                                  dy/dx = 2x - 4

                                   0 = 2x-4

- Then solve for the critical value of function "x":

                                   x = 4/2 = 2 ft

- The vertex can be evaluated by substituting the critical value of "x" back into the function and evaluate for y:

                                  y = (2)^2 -4*2 + 3

                                  y = 4 - 8 + 3

                                  y = -1 ft

- The vertex of parabolic path lies at the coordinates ( 2 , -1 ). That is 2ft horizontal and 1 ft under water.

A pitcher of water at 40 degrees Fahrenheit is placed into a 70 degree room. One hour later, the temperature has risen to 45 deg
solong [7]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the initial temperature and the temperature after an hour is an increase of 5 degrees. Since we need to calculate the time it would take for the temperature to rise to 60 degrees we need to find the difference in degrees from the current temperature to 60 degrees.

60 - 45 = 15 degrees

Since 1 hour equals an increase of 5 degrees we need to divide 15 by 5 to calculate how many hours before the temperature increases to 60 degrees

15 / 5 = 3 hours
