Given:

The height of a golf ball is represented by the equation:

y=x-0.04x^2

To find:

The maximum height of of Anna's golf ball.

Solution:

We have,

y=x-0.04x^2

Differentiate with respect to x.

y'=1-0.04(2x)

y'=1-0.08x

For critical values, y'=0.

1-0.08x=0

-0.08x=-1

x=\dfrac{-1}{-0.08}

x=12.5

Differentiate y' with respect to x.

y''=(0)-0.08(1)

y''=-0.08

Since double derivative is negative, the function is maximum at  x=12.5.

Substitute x=12.5 in the given equation to get the maximum height.

y=(12.5)-0.04(12.5)^2

y=12.5-0.04(156.25)

y=12.5-6.25

y=6.25

Therefore, the maximum height of of Anna's golf ball is 6.25 units.

How do I find the arc length with given radius &amp; central angel?
ella [17]

The length of an arc subtended by a central angle is proportional to the circle's circumference. If the given central angle has measure \theta and the circle has radius r, then the arc has length \ell such that

\dfrac{\ell}\theta=\dfrac{2\pi r}{2\pi}=r

where \theta is given in radians. Then

\ell=r\theta

If \theta is given in degrees, then

\dfrac{\ell}\theta=\dfrac{2\pi r}{360}\implies\ell=\dfrac{\theta\pi r}{180}
