45. To find the horizontal distance between the relative maximum of h(x) and the relative minimum of f(x), we need to first find the x-coordinates of the relative maximum of h(x) and the relative minimum of f(x).<br /><br />The function h(x) is a cubic function, and its graph will have a relative maximum and a relative minimum. To find the x-coordinate of the relative maximum, we need to find the derivative of h(x) and set it equal to zero to find the critical points. The derivative of h(x) is:<br /><br />h'(x) = 2(x+5)(x-2) + (x+5)^2<br /><br />Setting h'(x) equal to zero and solving for x, we get:<br /><br />2(x+5)(x-2) + (x+5)^2 = 0<br />2(x+5)(x-2) = -(x+5)^2<br />2(x-2) = -(x+5)<br />x = -7<br /><br />So the x-coordinate of the relative maximum of h(x) is -7.<br /><br />The cubic function f(x) has a root at -3 and a double root at 4, and a leading coefficient of 1. This means that the function f(x) can be written as:<br /><br />f(x) = (x+3)(x-4)^2<br /><br />The relative minimum of f(x) occurs at the double root, which is x = 4.<br /><br />Therefore, the horizontal distance between the relative maximum of h(x) and the relative minimum of f(x) is |-7 - 4| = 11 units.<br /><br />46. To find the diameter of the circle defined by the equation x^2 + y^2 + 8x - 2y - 104 = 0, we need to rewrite the equation in the standard form of a circle equation, which is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.<br /><br />To do this, we need to complete the square for the x and y terms. Completing the square for the x terms, we get:<br /><br />x^2 + 8x = (x+4)^2 - 16<br /><br />Completing the square for the y terms, we get:<br /><br />y^2 - 2y = (y-1)^2 - 1<br /><br />Substituting these into the original equation, we get:<br /><br />(x+4)^2 - 16 + (y-1)^2 - 1 = 104<br />(x+4)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 121<br /><br />Comparing this to the standard form of a circle equation, we can see that the center of the circle is (-4,1) and the radius is the square root of 121, which is 11. Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 2 * 11 = 22 units.
