A pendulum hangs from a clock and swings over its base.

Answer:

4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance between the pendulum and the base of the

clock, f(x), over the horizontal distance, x, modeled by

the function shown.

f(x) = 0.25x² – 2x + 10

In order to get the minimum distance between the pendulum and the base of the clock, first, we need to find the turning point of the function.

At turning point, d{f(x)}/dx = 0

d{f(x)}/dx = 0.5x-2 = 0

0.5x = 2

x = 2/0.5

x = 4

Then we will substitute x = 4 into the function as shown;

f(4) = 0.25(4)²-2(0.4)+10

f(4) = 4-9.8+10

f(4) = 4.2

The minimum distance between the pendulum and the base of the clock is 4.2

Suppose that receiving stations​ X, Y, and Z are located on a coordinate plane at the points ​(6​,2​), ​(negative 2​,negative 4​
marin [14]

Answer:

  (2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph is useful here. Points X and Y have coordinate differences of ...

  X -Y = (6, 2) -(-2, -4) = (6+2, 2+4) = (8, 6)

Then the distance between X and Y is ...

  d = √(8² +6²) = √100 = 10

The point 5 units from X and from Y is the midpoint of XY:

  E = (X +Y)/2 = ((6, 2) +(-2, -4))/2 = (4, -2)/2 = (2, -1)

The epicenter is (2, -1).

_____

The graph shows circles of radius 5 around X and Y, and a circle of radius 13 around Z. The circles intersect at the point (2, -1), the epicenter.
