(x - 2)^2 will always be positive and will have a minimum value of 0
so f(x) will have minimum of 2
Range is [2,∞)
Answer:
smaller pieces must be larger than 3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the longer piece
x>32
x-20>12
12/4=3
smaller pieces resembled as y
y>3
Answer:
case a)
----> open up
case b)
----> open down
case c)
----> open left
case d)
----> open right
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
1) The general equation of a vertical parabola is equal to

where
a is a coefficient
(h,k) is the vertex
If a>0 ----> the parabola open upward and the vertex is a minimum
If a<0 ----> the parabola open downward and the vertex is a maximum
2) The general equation of a horizontal parabola is equal to

where
a is a coefficient
(h,k) is the vertex
If a>0 ----> the parabola open to the right
If a<0 ----> the parabola open to the left
Verify each case
case a) we have

so


so

therefore
The parabola open up
case b) we have

so



therefore
The parabola open down
case c) we have

so



therefore
The parabola open to the left
case d) we have

so



therefore
The parabola open to the right
I'm not 100% but I think its going to be a positive answer choice.
So i would say 1/2
Answer: Yes the ladder will reach the fire
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for details.
The fire is at point A, while the top of the truck is at point C. The fire is actually burning at 22 feet off the ground, but because the fire truck itself is already 6 feet off the ground, the point that would serve as the base of the building would be 16 feet from the third floor (which is 22 feet minus 6 feet). Hence, point A to point B is 16 feet. So we need to calculate if line AC (from the truck to the fire at the third floor, labeled as b) shall equal the length of the ladder which is 16-foot long.
The angle of the ladder with the top of the truck is 75 degrees. Therefore,
Sin 75 = opposite/hypotenuse
Sin 75 = 16/b
By cross multiplication we now have
b = 16/Sin 75
b = 16/0.9659
b = 16.56
If the distance from A to C is 16.56 feet, then the 16-foot long ladder would reach the fire.
