Answer:
A) w'(8) = -4/5 ;w'(8) is less than 0, so it shows that w(t) function is a decreasing function and thus with the decrease in one function, the other will also decrease.
B) y = 8.8927 ;Thus we have proved that; w(3.5) ≤ 9
C) The function is undefined and thus has a vertical asymptote
Step-by-step explanation:
A) we are to find w'(8)
8 lies in the interval of 6 < t ≤ 10, we'll use;
w(t) = 10 - (1/5)(t - 6)²
Differentiating, we have;
w'(t) = -(2/5)(t - 6)
Thus, w'(8) = -(2/5)(8 - 6)
w'(8) = -4/5
As, w'(8) is less than 0,it shows that w(t) function is a decreasing function.
Thus, there will be a direct relation such that with the decrease in one function, the other will also decrease.
B) To find the line tangent to the graph of W at t=3; 3 falls into the interval of 0 ≤ t < 6,
Thus;
w(t) = 17/2 - (3/2)(cos(πt/6))
Now let's differentiate so we can find w'(3)
So, w'(t) = -(3/2 x -π/6)(sin(πt/6))
w'(t) = (π/4)(sin(πt/6))
So; w'(3) = (π/4)(sin(π*3/6))
w'(3) = (π/4)(sin(π/2))
sin (π/2) in radians = 1
Thus,w'(3) = (π/4)
Now, let's find the y coordinate which is at w(3);
w(3) = 17/2 - (3/2)(cos(π x 3/6))
w(3) = 17/2 - (3/2)(cos(π/2))
(cos(π/2)) in radians = 0
Thus;
w(3) = 17/2
So the tangent line will be;
y - 17/2 = (π/4)(x - 3)
y = (π/4)(x - 3) + 17/2
Now, at t = 3.5, putting 3. 5for x;
y = (π/4)(3.5 - 3) + 17/2
y = 0.5(π/4) + 8.5
y = 0.3927 + 8.5
y = 8.8927
Thus; w(3.5) ≤ 9
C) we want to find the limit as t approaches 2.
Now, 2 falls into the interval of 0 ≤ t < 6,
Thus;
w(t) = 17/2 - (3/2)(cos(πt/6))
So, z = [17/2 - (3/2)(cos(πt/6)) - t³ + ¼]/(t - 2)
At t = 2,we have;
Lim z → 2 = [17/2 - (3/2)(cos(π x 2/6)) - 2³ + ¼]/(2 - 2)
Lim z → 2 = [17/2 - (3/4) - 8 + ¼]/0
The denominator is zero and thus the function is undefined.
So, at t = 2, the function has a vertical asymptote
