Select the correct answer.

Melissa and Robbie are flying remote control gliders.

The altitude of Melissa's glider, h(s), in feet, is modeled by this function, where sis time, in seconds, after launch.

The altitude of Robbie's glider is modeled by function r, where sis time, in seconds, after launch.

C. Robbie's glider

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S -The exact question is -

Given - Melissa and Robbie are flying remote control gliders.

The altitude of Melissa's glider, h(s), in feet, is modeled by this function, where sis time, in seconds, after launch.

m(s) = 0.4(s³ - 11s² + 31s – 1)

The altitude of Robbie's glider is modeled by function r, where sis time, in seconds, after launch.

To find - Which glider reaches the greater maximum altitude in the first 6 seconds after launch?

A. Neither glider reaches a maximum altitude on the given interval.

В. Melissa's glider

C. Robbie's glider

D. Both gliders reach the same altitude on the given interval.

Proof -

At t = 6 sec,

Melisa glider is

h(6) = 0.4((0.6)³ - 11(0.6)² + 31(0.6) – 1)

      = 0.4( 0.216 - 3.96 + 18.6 - 1 )

      = 0.4(13.856) = 5.5424

⇒h(6) = 5.5424

∴ we get

At t = 6 seconds, Melissa glider is at the altitude of 5.54 feet

Now,

From the figure, we can see that,

At t = 6 seconds, Robbie's glider is approximately at an altitude of 13 feet

Now,

As 13 > 5.5

So,

Robbie's glider is at maximum height in 6 seconds after the launch.

So,

The correct option is - C. Robbie's glider

a. 32 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

here we have to use the rule.

m∠e = 1/2 (major arc - minor arc)

m∠e = 1/2 (212 - 148)

m∠e = 1/2 (64)

m∠e = 32 degrees

answer: a. 32 degrees
