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
The answer to this problem is 48.
Answer:
£13496.80
Step-by-step explanation:
We can ignore the £ sign for now, that is just units.
If we decrease a number by 4.5%, we will have to find
% of 14132.77.
We can easily do this by setting up a proportion.

Multiply 14132.77 by 95.5:

Divide by 100:

Rounding this to two decimal places, it simplifies to 13496.80.
Hope this helped!
