the complete question in the attached figure
part A
the x intercept 0 is the point where the ball was hit, the x intercept 20 is the point where the ball fell back to the ground, 20 feet away from the kicker.
<span>the function is increasing in the interval x∈(0, 10) and decreasing in x∈(10, 20) </span>
this means that the height is increasing in the interval (0, 10) and decreasing as x goes through the interval (10,20)
the distance from the kicker is increasing during the whole interval (0, 20)
part B
the rate of change represents the slope of the secant line from A to B. It approximates the rate at which f(x) decreases or increases in the interval
x =[A, B]
Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x^2 + 8 = -2 + 7
-2 + 7 = 5
Divide both sides of the equation by
x^2 + 4x = 5/2
Add (4/2^2) to both sides of the equation
x^2 + 4x + (4/2)^2 = 5/2 + (4/2)^2
factor the expression
(x + 4/2)^2 = 13/2
reduce the fraction by 2
(x + 2)^2 = 13/2
now solve equation for x
2x^2 + 8 = -2 + 7
-2 + 7 = 5
Divide both sides of the equation by
x^2 + 4x = 5/2
Add (4/2^2) to both sides of the equation
x^2 + 4x + (4/2)^2 = 5/2 + (4/2)^2
factor the expression
(x + 4/2)^2 = 13/2
reduce the fraction by 2
(x + 2)^2 = 13/2
now solve equation for x
