Answer:
- The smaller one is x = 3
- and the larger one is x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
A "critical number" is a function argument where the function has zero or undefined slope. A polynomial function never has undefined slope, so we're looking for the x-values where f'(x) = 0.
A graphing calculator easily shows the points that have zero slope. They are found at x = 3 and x = 6.
_____
Setting the derivative to zero is another way to find the points with zero slope:
f'(x) = 6x^2 -54x +108 = 6(x^2 -9x +18) = 6(x-3)(x-6)
The derivative will be zero where the factors are zero, at x=3 and x=6.
The critical numbers are x=3 and x=6.

I don't know if you've learnt this, but there's something called the KFC rule (you use it when dividing fractions), so k basically stands for keep (so you keep the first fraction), f stands for flip (so you flip the second fraction) and c stand for change (you change the division sign to a multiplication sign)
So you get
5/20*11/5
55/100
which is 11/20
so, an answer of 11/20 would make Quintin correct
Answer:
240
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
174.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be helpful to draw a diagram of the triangle we're concerned with. (See attached.)
We know the angle at the end of the shadow inside the triangle is 52°-22° = 30°. We assume the tree is growing straight up out of the hillside, so its angle with the hill inside the triangle is 90°+22° = 112°. Then the remaining angle between the shadow and the tree at the top of the tree is ...
180° -30° -112° = 38°
Now, we have the angle opposite the tree, and the angle opposite the known side length of the triangle (215 feet along the hill, AC in the diagram). This is enough information to usefully use the Law of Sines.
c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)
c = a(sin(C)/sin(A)) = (215 ft)(sin(30°)/sin(38°)) ≈ 174.6 ft
The height of the tree is about 174.6 feet.
