Two stoves are located 42 feet apart, one giving out 4 times as much heat as the other. If you stand at a point on the line between the stoves at a distance x from the less powerful stove, the temperature of the air is given by H(x)=100 + 60 x2 + 240 (42−x)2 . Assume you move back an forth between the two stoves, always at least 4 ft from either stove. (a) Assume you wish to determine the maximum and minimum temperatures you would experience. The domain to study for the function H(X) would be

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
