Practice problems/A photographer at the skatepark
From UBCMATH WIKI
A photographer is taking pictures at a skatepark. The "half-pipe" has the shape of a function given by h(x)=x3−6x2+11x−6 where x is the horizontal distance from the photographer and h(x) is the height of the half-pipe surface above the point x (see Figure 1), both measured in tens of meters. The photographer has his camera mounted on a tall rod. He would like to hold the camera at a height c that is high enough so that there is no part of the half-pipe hidden from view. What is the minimum value of c for which this will be the case?
[This problem is a bit tricky.]
