Answer

$$ 910 mi $$

Work Step by Step

The object will reach its maximum distance when its speed equals zero. Evaluate the integral for $a=0, b=k, $ when the total result is equal to 0, using the antiderivative. \[ \begin{array}{l} {\left[9-191,000 \int_{0}^{k} \frac{1}{(x+3963)^{2}} d x\right]^{1 / 2}=0} \\ {\left[9-191,000\left(-\frac{-1}{3963}+\frac{-1}{k+3963}\right)\right]^{1 / 2}=0} \end{array} \] \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc} \left.9-191,000 \cdot \frac{-3963+(k+3963)}{3963(k+3963)}\right]^{1 / 2}=0 \\ 9-191,000 \cdot \frac{k}{3963(k+3963) }=0 \\ \frac{191,000 k}{3963(3963+k) }=9 \end{array}\right. \] This simplifies as: \[ \begin{aligned} &3963(k+3963)9=191,000 k \\ k & \approx 910 \mathrm{mi} \end{aligned} \]
