Question 39

The vertical height HHH of a roller coaster track, in metres, is modeled by the equation H=H(x),x>0H = H(x), x > 0H=H(x),x>0, where xxx is the horizontal distance from a reference point. The track passes through the point P(4,10)P(4, 10)P(4,10).

Given that

dHdx=3x2−8x \frac{dH}{dx} = \frac{3x^2 - 8}{\sqrt{x}} dxdH​=x​3x2−8​
