Carlos and Maria drove a total of 217 miles in 4.1 hours. Carlos drove the first part of the trip and averaged 52 miles per hour. Maria drove the remainder of the trip and averaged 54 miles per hour. For approximately how many hours did Maria drive? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Sin(a)+cos(a)+cot(a)-1=2(csc(x)+1)

First locate the turning point (vertex) of the graph. which is at the coordinates x=5 and y=9 or (5; 9).to determine whether it's a maximum or mininum value, you have to discern whether the vertex's y-value is the highest value or lowest value the graph can reach. since the vertex's y-value, 9 is the highest value the graph can reach, it will be a maximum.another basic way to determine whether the vertex's value is max or min is to see if the graph is smiling or sad. if it's smiling, the turning point/vertex would be a minimum, while a sad parabola would have a maximum y-value at the vertex.
