A penguin starts on a slide 3 feet above the water. He slides down and glides underwater. The function y=x^2-4x+3 shows his path where y is his height above or below the water, in feet, and x is the horizontal distance. Complete the square to find the interpret the extreme value (vertex).

( 2 , -1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

A penguin starts on a slide 3 feet above the water. He slides down and glides underwater. The function of penguin height above/below the water is given  by:

                                    y = x^2 - 4x + 3

Find:-

-The extreme value (vertex) of the parabolic path

Solution:-

- The vertex ( turning point - minima or maxima ) can be evaluated by taking the first derivative of the given function and setting it equal to zero.

                                  dy/dx = 2x - 4

                                   0 = 2x-4

- Then solve for the critical value of function "x":

                                   x = 4/2 = 2 ft

- The vertex can be evaluated by substituting the critical value of "x" back into the function and evaluate for y:

                                  y = (2)^2 -4*2 + 3

                                  y = 4 - 8 + 3

                                  y = -1 ft

- The vertex of parabolic path lies at the coordinates ( 2 , -1 ). That is 2ft horizontal and 1 ft under water.

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.
