Answer:
d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the distance d, in centimeters, that a diving board bends below its resting position when you stand at its end is dependent on your distance x, in meters, from the stabilized point
[tex]d(x)=-4x^3+x^2[/tex]
For finding out the distances for x=1 and x=2
let us substitute 1 and 2 for x
[tex]d(1) = -4(1^3)+1^2 = -3[/tex]
[tex]d(2) = -4(2^3)+2^2 \\= -28[/tex]
d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28
