Answer:

The answer is missing.

I think there is something wrong with the equation on its own

Explanation:

Equation for the hovercraft

F(x)= X²+6x+2

Olivia catapult equation

F(x)= √2x

Differential of the both equation will give the velocity at x time

F(x)= X²+6x+2

DF(x)/Dx= 2x +6

F(x)= √2x

F(x)= (2x)^½

DF(x)/Dx= (2x)^-½

So the differential is the velocity of the both equation.

Let's equate both equation to find the value of x at which they have same velocity.

(2x)^-½=- 2x+6

(2x)^-1= (-2x+6)²

(2x)^-1= 4x² -24x +36

0= 8x³ - 48x² +72x -1
