HI!!

misty1212 · Answer

you got a line right?  what is the equation for that line?

amorfide · Answer

you are not given it, you use the graph given

amorfide · Answer

the thing that comes to mind would be the first derivative test for maxima / minima

misty1212 · Answer

lol you got a line, you can find the equation of that line in your head

@amorfide so how would i do that

misty1212 · Answer

find the anti derivative of that line, plug in 0 and set equal to 7 to get the exact equation for your parabola

misty1212 · Answer

you got that or no?
