An irrigation system (sprinkler) has a parabolic pattern. The height, in feet, of the spray of water is given by the equation ℎ(

)=−2+10+9.5 h ( x ) = − x 2 + 10 x + 9.5 , where x is the number of feet away from the sprinkler head (along the ground) the spray is.

  1. The irrigation system is positioned 9.5 feet above the ground to start.
  2. The spray reaches a maximum height of <u>84.5 feet</u> at a horizontal distance of <u>5 feet</u> away from the sprinkler head.
  3. The spray reaches all the way to the ground at about 10.87 feet away​

<h3>How to determine the position?</h3>

Since the height (feet) of the spray of water is given by this equation h(x) = -x² + 10x + 9.5, we can logically deduce that the irrigation system is positioned 9.5 feet above the ground to start.

<h3>How to determine the maximum height?</h3>

For any quadratic equation with a parabolic curve, the axis of symmetry is given by:

Xmax = -b/2a

Xmax = -10/2(-1)

Xmax = 5.

Thus, the maximum height on the vertical axis is given by:

h(x) = -x² + 10x + 9.5

h(5) = -(5)² + 10(5) + 9.5

h(5) = -25 + 50 + 9.5

h(5) = 34.5 feet.

Therefore, the spray reaches a maximum height of <u>84.5 feet</u> at a horizontal distance of <u>5 feet</u> away from the sprinkler head.

Also, the spray reaches all the way to the ground at about:

Maximum distance = √34.5 + 5

Maximum distance = 10.87 feet.
