A piece of driftwood floats on the surface of the ocean. Due to the wave motion, its height rises and falls relative to the heig

ht of the water with no waves. The maximum height of the driftwood is 2 ft, relative to the surface, and its minimum height is −1.5 feet.
A storm surge causes the height of the waves to be multiplied by 4.
What is the minimum height of the driftwood in the storm? __________ ft.
What is the distance between the maximum and minimum heights of the driftwood during the storm? ______________ ft.

Assuming that both the max and min heights of the wave are multiplied by 4, the new max height is 2*4 =8ft, and the min height is -1.5*4 =-6ft.

<span>What is the minimum height of the driftwood in the storm? -6ft.
What is the distance between the maximum and minimum heights of the driftwood during the storm? 8ft-(-6ft)=14 ft. </span>

You are taking a trip at the same time as another
Valentin [98]

Answer:

My family is traveling faster, since it is traveling at the rate of 950 miles per day, while the other family travels at 900 miles per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I am taking a trip at the same time as another family, and my family traveled 1,900 miles in 2 days, while their family traveled 2,700 miles in 3 days, to determine who is traveling faster the following calculation must be performed:

1,900 / 2 = 950

2,700 / 3 = 900

Thus, my family is traveling faster, since it is traveling at the rate of 950 miles per day, while the other family travels at 900 miles per day.

A method for determining whether a critical point is a minimum. True or false?
natita [175]

Answer:

We can find if a critical point is a local minimum or maximum by looking at the second derivatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the first derivative, you will find the slope at the given point, which if it is a minimum or a maximum will be 0.

Then we take the second derivative. If that number is a positive number, then we have a local minimum. If it is a negative number, then it is a local maximum.

Without using a calculator, determine the number of real zeros of the function
Natalija [7]

Answer:

1, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are alike numbers, add them together.

4x+x= 5x

Now the function is: f(x)= x^{2}+5x-6

The function is in  a^{2}+bx+c form.

So find the factors of a x c = b.

Factors of -6(a) that fits (b)5 is (-1,6).

Then you just factor it:

f(x)= x^{2}+5x-6

(x-1)(x+6)

x-1= 0  x+6=0

 +1 +1     -6  -6

x=1      x=-6

Those are the real zeroes: 1, -6
