Question

Based on an architectural drawing, a roof slopes to a drain
along the function represented in the table that defines the
edge of slope, where x is the horizontal distance in feet and
f(x) is the vertical distance in feet.
If the drain is at the minimum point, how far is it from the wall
defined by the y-axis?
A. O feet
B. 8 feet
C. 80 feet
D. 160 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x is the horizontal distance in feet and  f(x) is the vertical distance in feet. The minimum point of a function is its lowest point. For a quadratic equation, at its minimum or  maximum point, the slope of the graph is equal to zero.

For the table of the function given below, it can be seen that the lowest point occurs when x = 80 feet, at this point, the value of f(x) is at its lowest which is 0.

Therefore at the minimum point, it is 80 feet far from the wall .
