The anchor of the guy wire is 12.06 meters away form base of electrical pole.

Further explanation:

The whole given scenario forms a right angle triangle. The pole is standing straight so it is the perpendicular while the guy wire goes from the top of pole to the anchor so it will be the hypotenuse. We have to finds the base.

Pythagoras theorem will be used.

Pythagoras theorem states that:

H^2=B^2+P^2

Given

Base=?

Perpendicular=12.4 m

Hypotenuse = 17.3 m

Putting the values

(17.3)^2=B^2+(12.4)^2\\299.29=B^2+153.76\\B^2=299.29-153.76\\B^2=145.53\\Takeing\ Square\ root\ on \both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{145.53}\\B=12.06\ m

The anchor of the guy wire is 12.06 meters away form base of electrical pole.

Keywords: Pythagoras theorem, Hypotenuse

Answer: the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.


Explanation:


1) The function f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 16 is a parabola.


The vertex of the parabola is the minimum or maximum on the parabola.


If the parabola open down then the vertex is a maximum, and if the parabola open upward the vertex is a minimum.


The sign of the coefficient of the quadratic term tells whether the parabola opens upward or downward.


When such coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upward (so it has a minimum); when the coefficient is negative the parabola opens downward (so it has a maximum).


Here the coefficient is positive (3), which tells that the vertex of the parabola is a miimum.


Then, finding the minimum value of the function is done by finding the vertex.

I will change the form of the function to the vertex form by completing squares:

Given: 3x² + 12x + 16

Group: (3x² + 12x) + 16
Common factor: 3 [x² + 4x ] + 16
Complete squares: 3[ ( x² + 4x + 4) - 4] + 16
Factor the trinomial: 3 [(x + 2)² - 4] + 16
Distributive property: 3 (x + 2)² - 12 + 16
Combine like terms: 3 (x + 2)² + 4

That is the vertex form: A(x - h)² + k, whch means that the vertex is (h,k) = (-2, 4).


Then the minimum value is 4 (when x = - 2).


2) The othe function is <span>g(x)= 2 *sin(x-pi)
</span>

The sine function goes from -1 to + 1, so the minimum value of sin(x - pi) is - 1.


When you multiply by 2, you just increased the amplitude of the function and obtain the new minimum value is 2 (-1) = - 2


Comparing the two minima, you have 4 vs - 2, and so the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.
