Question

ILL MARK BRAINILEST IF YOU ANSWER!!!

Jerry decides to participate in the horseshoe
tournament at the Wellesley Apple Butter and Cheese
festival. The toss of the shoes can be modelled using
the equation, h = -0.1(d + 1)(d - 12), where h represents
height in metres and d represents distance in metres.

a) Sketch the graphical model.
b) What is the maximum height of a horseshoe?

Answer 1

`h_(max)=5.5`

Explanation:

Given

`h = -0.1(d + 1)(d - 12)`

Solving (a): The graph

To do this, we plot h on the vertical axis and d on the horizontal

See attachment for graph

Solving (b): The maximum of h

From the attached graph, h has the maximum value when:

`d = 4.225`

So, the maximum of h is:

`h_(max)=5.5`
