Step-by-step solution

  1. Calculate the coordinates of B, the turning point of ff.

    The function is given by f(x)=−x2+4x+5f(x) = -x^2 + 4x + 5.
    For a parabola in the form ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c, the x-coordinate of the turning point is given by x=−b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a}.
    Here, a=−1a = -1 and b=4b = 4.

    xB=−42(−1)=−4−2=2x_B = -\frac{4}{2(-1)} = -\frac{4}{-2} = 2

    Substitute xB=2x_B = 2 into f(x)f(x) to find the y-coordinate:

    yB=f(2)=−(2)2+4(2)+5=−4+8+5=9y_B = f(2) = -(2)^2 + 4(2) + 5 = -4 + 8 + 5 = 9

    The coordinates of B are (2,9)(2, 9).

    B(2,9)\boxed{\text{B}(2, 9)}
  2. Show that the equation of the line through A and C is given by g(x)=2x+2g(x) = 2x + 2.

    The point C is given as (3,8)(3, 8).
    To find point A, we need to find the x-intercepts of f(x)f(x) by setting f(x)=0f(x) = 0:

    −x2+4x+5=0-x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0

    Multiply by -1:

    x2−4x−5=0x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0

    Factor the quadratic equation:

    (x−5)(x+1)=0(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0

    The x-intercepts are x=5x = 5 and x=−1x = -1. From the diagram, A is the negative x-intercept, so A is (−1,0)(-1, 0).
    Now, calculate the slope mm of the line passing through A(−1,0)(-1, 0) and C(3,8)(3, 8):

    m=y2−y1x2−x1=8−03−(−1)=84=2m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{8 - 0}{3 - (-1)} = \frac{8}{4} = 2

    Using the point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) with point A(−1,0)(-1, 0):

    y−0=2(x−(−1))y - 0 = 2(x - (-1)) y=2(x+1)y = 2(x + 1) y=2x+2y = 2x + 2

    Thus, the equation of the line is g(x)=2x+2g(x) = 2x + 2.

  3. Calculate the maximum length of EH for f>gf > g.

    The length of EH is the vertical distance between f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x), which is D(x)=f(x)−g(x)D(x) = f(x) - g(x).

    D(x)=(−x2+4x+5)−(2x+2)D(x) = (-x^2 + 4x + 5) - (2x + 2) D(x)=−x2+4x+5−2x−2D(x) = -x^2 + 4x + 5 - 2x - 2 D(x)=−x2+2x+3D(x) = -x^2 + 2x + 3

    This is a downward-opening parabola, so its maximum value occurs at its turning point. The x-coordinate of the turning point is x=−b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a}.
    Here, a=−1a = -1 and b=2b = 2.

    x=−22(−1)=−2−2=1x = -\frac{2}{2(-1)} = -\frac{2}{-2} = 1

    Substitute x=1x = 1 into D(x)D(x) to find the maximum length:

    D(1)=−(1)2+2(1)+3=−1+2+3=4D(1) = -(1)^2 + 2(1) + 3 = -1 + 2 + 3 = 4

    The maximum length of EH is 4 units.

    4 units\boxed{4 \text{ units}}
  4. Determine the value of mm such that gg is a tangent to kk.

    The function k(x)k(x) is given as k(x)=f(x+m)=−x2−2mx−m2+4x+4m+5k(x) = f(x+m) = -x^2 - 2mx - m^2 + 4x + 4m + 5.
    We can rewrite k(x)k(x) by grouping terms:

    k(x)=−x2+(4−2m)x+(−m2+4m+5)k(x) = -x^2 + (4 - 2m)x + (-m^2 + 4m + 5)

    For g(x)g(x) to be a tangent to k(x)k(x), there must be exactly one point of intersection between the two functions. Set k(x)=g(x)k(x) = g(x):

    −x2+(4−2m)x+(−m2+4m+5)=2x+2-x^2 + (4 - 2m)x + (-m^2 + 4m + 5) = 2x + 2

    Rearrange the equation to form a quadratic equation Ax2+Bx+C=0Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0:

    −x2+(4−2m−2)x+(−m2+4m+5−2)=0-x^2 + (4 - 2m - 2)x + (-m^2 + 4m + 5 - 2) = 0 −x2+(2−2m)x+(−m2+4m+3)=0-x^2 + (2 - 2m)x + (-m^2 + 4m + 3) = 0

    Multiply by -1 to make the leading coefficient positive:

    x2−(2−2m)x−(−m2+4m+3)=0x^2 - (2 - 2m)x - (-m^2 + 4m + 3) = 0 x2+(2m−2)x+(m2−4m−3)=0x^2 + (2m - 2)x + (m^2 - 4m - 3) = 0

    For a tangent, the discriminant (Δ=B2−4AC\Delta = B^2 - 4AC) of this quadratic equation must be zero.
    Here, A=1A = 1, B=(2m−2)B = (2m - 2), and C=(m2−4m−3)C = (m^2 - 4m - 3).

    (2m−2)2−4(1)(m2−4m−3)=0(2m - 2)^2 - 4(1)(m^2 - 4m - 3) = 0

    Expand the terms:

    (4m2−8m+4)−(4m2−16m−12)=0(4m^2 - 8m + 4) - (4m^2 - 16m - 12) = 0 4m2−8m+4−4m2+16m+12=04m^2 - 8m + 4 - 4m^2 + 16m + 12 = 0

    Combine like terms:

    (−8m+16m)+(4+12)=0(-8m + 16m) + (4 + 12) = 0 8m+16=08m + 16 = 0 8m=−168m = -16 m=−2m = -2

    The value of mm is -2.

    m=−2\boxed{m = -2}
