The horizontal distance from the firefighter at which the maximum height of water occurs is 10.83m
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
h(x) = -0.026x² + 0.563x + 3
where,
h(x) is the height of the water
Initial speed, u = 14m/s
angle, θ = 30°
(a)
Horizontal distance = ?
h(x) = ax² + bx + c
the vertex is found at x = -b/2a
where,
x = distance to the maximum height
As compared to the equation given:
a = -0.026
b = 0.563
Thus,
Therefore, horizontal distance from the firefighter at which the maximum height of water occurs is 10.83m
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll call the 2 numbers x and y. Starting with the last part of that first sentence "one number is 10 times the other number" can be written, in algebraic form:
y = 10x
Now on to the first statement about the numbers: "twice their sum" is 2(x + y) and "equals their product" is = xy. Putting that all together:
2(x + y) = xy and we know that y = 10x so
2(x + 10x) = x(10x) and
and
and
x(10x - 22) = 0 so
x = 0 or 10x - 22 = 0 which makes
x equal to
So x = 2.2 and y = 22.
