The speed limit on a road drops down to 15 miles per hour around a curve. Mr. Gerard slows down by 10 miles per hour as he drive

s around the curve. He never drives above the speed limit. At what speed was Mr. Gerard driving before the curve? Please write your inequality.

Answer:

x ≤ 25mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Speed limit drops to 15 miles per hour at curve

Driver slows down by 10 miles per hour as he drives around the curve

The driver's speed before reaching the curve is :

Let speed befure curve = x

Lowest speed before curve = 15 +. 10 = 25 mph

x ≤ 25mph

HETY is a parallelogram.

HT and EY are diagonals. We know that diagonals divides the parallelogram into two equal parts.

So ar(HET) = ar(HTY)

And, ar(HEY) = ar(EYT) now, in AHET, diagonal EY bisects the line segment HT and also the AHET,

∴ar(AHOE) = ar(AEOT)

Similarly in AETY

ar(ΔΕΟΤ) = ar(ΔΤΟΥ)

And in AHTY,

ar(ATOY) = ar(AHOY)

That means diagonals in parallelogram divides it into four equal parts.

Hence Proofed.

I am having trouble with this relative minimum of this equation.<br>

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

So the approximate relative minimum is (0.4,-58.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok this is a calculus approach. You have to let me know if you want this done another way.

Here are some rules I'm going to use:

$(f+g)'=f'+g'$ (Sum rule)

$(cf)'=c(f)'$ (Constant multiple rule)

$(x^n)'=nx^{n-1}$ (Power rule)

$(c)'=0$ (Constant rule)

$(x)'=1$ (Slope of y=x is 1)

$y=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56$

$y'=(4x^3+13x^2-12x-56)'$

$y'=(4x^3)'+(13x^2)'-(12x)'-(56)'$

$y'=4(x^3)'+13(x^2)'-12(x)'-0$

$y'=4(3x^2)+13(2x^1)-12(1)$

$y'=12x^2+26x-12$

Now we set y' equal to 0 and solve for the critical numbers.

$12x^2+26x-12=0$

Divide both sides by 2:

$6x^2+13x-6=0$

Compaer $6x^2+13x-6=0$ to $ax^2+bx+c=0$ to determine the values for $a=6,b=13,c=-6$ .

$a=6$

$b=13$

$c=-6$

We are going to use the quadratic formula to solve for our critical numbers, x.

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{13^2-4(6)(-6)}}{2(6)}$

$x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{169+144}}{12}$

$x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{313}}{12}$

Let's separate the choices:

$x=\frac{-13+\sqrt{313}}{12} \text{ or } \frac{-13-\sqrt{313}}{12}$

Let's approximate both of these:

$x=0.3909838 \text{ or } -2.5576505$ .

This is a cubic function with leading coefficient 4 and 4 is positive so we know the left and right behavior of the function. The left hand side goes to negative infinity while the right hand side goes to positive infinity. So the maximum is going to occur at the earlier x while the minimum will occur at the later x.

The relative maximum is at approximately -2.5576505.

So the relative minimum is at approximate 0.3909838.

We could also verify this with more calculus of course.

Let's find the second derivative.

$f(x)=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56$

$f'(x)=12x^2+26x-12$

$f''(x)=24x+26$

So if f''(a) is positive then we have a minimum at x=a.

If f''(a) is negative then we have a maximum at x=a.

Rounding to nearest tenths here: x=-2.6 and x=.4

Let's see what f'' gives us at both of these x's.

$24(-2.6)+25$

$-37.5$

So we have a maximum at x=-2.6.

$24(.4)+25$

$9.6+25$

$34.6$

So we have a minimum at x=.4.

Now let's find the corresponding y-value for our relative minimum point since that would complete your question.

We are going to use the equation that relates x and y.

I'm going to use 0.3909838 instead of .4 just so we can be closer to the correct y value.

$y=4(0.3909838)^3+13(0.3909838)^2-12(0.3909838)-56$

I'm shoving this into a calculator:

$y=-58.4654411$

So the approximate relative minimum is (0.4,-58.5).

If you graph $y=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56$ you should see the graph taking a dip at this point.
