1 Line L is tangent to the graph of y=x-(x^2/500)
on the graph, L crosses y axis at (0, 20)
point Q is on the both graph of y=x-(x^2/500) and the tangent line L.
(a) Find the x-coordinate of point Q.
(b) Write an equation for line l in slope-intercept form.
(c) Suppose the graph of y=x-(x^2/500) shown in the figure, where x and y are measured in feet, represents a hill.
There is a 50-foot tree growing vertically at the top of the hill. Does a spotlight at point P directed along line l
shine on any part of the tree? Show the work that leads to your conclusion.
**** and would you please be accurate and show details?? cuz i am not smart enough... :((****
