, and do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
(B) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground
(C) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground
(D) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground
The function is a parabola, and the problem asks to transform the equation into f(t)=a(x-h)2 + k
Given f(t) = 4t2 -8t +7
= (4t2 - 8t + 4) + 7 - 4
=4 (t2 - 2t + 1) + 3
= 4 (t-1) 2 +3
This removes C and D from the viable choices.
Differentiating the f(t),
f’(t) = 8t – 8, the maximum/minimum value occurs at f’(t) = 0
0 = 8t – 8
t = 1
determining if maximum or minimum, f”(t) > 0 if minimum, f”(t) < 0 maximum
f”(t) = 8 > 0, therefore minimum
f(1) =4(1)^2 – 8(1) +7
= 3
Therefore, minimum height is 3.
Answer:
T= 4 s (second option).
Step-by-step explanation:
A chronotype is a behavioral manifestation of an underlying circadian rhythms of the myriad physical processes.
The chronotype word may be defined as an individual's natural tendency to remain active mostly at certain times of the day. Some people remain active and alert in the early time of the day and some are alert and active in the late night.
The chronotypes are : Morning person, night person, neither/both.
It is assume that the birth month and year of a person influences his or her chronotype. But if birth month is not related to theses personality traits of a person, then it can be expected that nearly 1/3rd of the fraction of the students in class picks the chronotype which corresponds to their birth type.
