The water level, measured in feet above mean sea level, of Lake Lanier in Georgia, USA, during 2012 can be modeled by the function L(t) = 0.01441t 3 − 0.4177t 2 + 2.703t + 1060.1 where t is measured in months since January 1, 2012. Estimate when the water level was highest during 2012.

May 4th, 2012.

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest level can be found with the help of the First Derivative and Second Derivative Tests. First and second derivatives of the function are, respectively:

The First Derivative Tests consists on equalizing the first derivative to zero and finding the critical points.

Roots are and . just the second root offer a realistic solution and is test by the second derivative.

(which leads to a maximum).

Given that a year has 365 days or 12 months, the highest water level occurs at day:

(May 4th).

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
