Find Vertex: To find the lowest altitude, we need to find the vertex of the parabola represented by g(x)=201x(x−100).
Vertex Form: The vertex form of a parabola is g(x)=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex. Since the coefficient of x2 is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and the lowest point is the vertex.
Calculate x-coordinate: The x-coordinate of the vertex is found by using the formula h=−2ab for a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c. Here, a=201, b=−20100, and c=0.
