Answer 2

How would you find the maximum of f(t)?

Answer 3

I would graph it

Answer 4

would it be 6

Answer 5

Just give me a few moments finishing a problem of my own.

Answer 6

You need to know both the t value and the height for each functions maximum, what are they?

Answer 7

ok @eraserlaser

Answer 8

Part A: I'm guessing that the maximum is when the foxhound clears the hurdle (g(t)) and the Labrador clears the hurdle (f(t)) ie. my interpretation. And comparing the two would be saying the foxhound gets to a higher height than the Labrador.

Part B: Again if you have a graph of f(t) vs. t we have t as our X or domain and are f(t) as our Y or Range. So finding the x intercept of the two functions ie. [where f(t) equals 0 and g(t) equals you are given one of them in the table (where g(t) equals zero; t equals 1.5)] is easy. Compare the two and see which is bigger. The x or t intercepts of the graph will represent when the foxhound and the Labrador hit the ground, after they cleared the hurdle.
Part C: The y or (f(t) or g(t)) intercepts of the problem are where t is equal to zero and I'm guessing that in the context of the problem would mean that the two animals are at the starting point.
Sorry for the late reply
