The truck gets 6.25 miles per gallon of gas
6.25 x 20 = 125 miles
the answer is C. 20 gallons
Answer:
7.31 and 0.685
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 -8x +5 = 0
use the quadratic formula
- (-8) + √(-8^2 -4(1)(5) / 2(1(
(8 + √(64 -20))/2
(8+√44)/2
8+6.63 / 2
14.63/2= 7.31
+7.31
(8- √44)/2 = 0.685
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
Like you would put 0.5 or 1. or 1.5 as like 1/2 or 1/3 and you plot negatives first
