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?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

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:

So, the maximum of h is:

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
