The weight in pounds that can be supported by a diving board is given by the function w (x) = 5000/x , where x is the distance in feet from the base of the diving board to a

point along the length of the board.

a. What is the domain of the function? Can the domain include zero? Explain.

b. Make a table of values and generate five ordered pairs to represent the function.

c. Plot the ordered pairs and draw a smooth curve connecting the points.

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
