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

Answer:

7.5 ft
32.5 ft, 5 ft
10.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The starting height is h(0) = 7.5 feet, the constant in the quadratic function.

The irrigation system is positioned 7.5 feet above the ground

b) The axis of symmetry for quadratic ax^2 +bx +c is x = -b/(2a). For this quadratic, that is x=-10/(2(-1)) = 5. This is the horizontal distance to the point of maximum height. The maximum height is ...

h(5) = (-5 +10)(5) +7.5 = 32.5 . . . feet

The spray reaches a maximum height of 32.5 feet at a horizontal distance of 5 feet from the sprinkler head.

c) The maximum distance will be √32.5 + 5 ≈ 10.7 ft.

The spray reaches the ground at about 10.7 feet away.

Solve x2 – 4x – 9 = 29 for x.

Irina-Kira [14]

$x^2 - 4x - 9 = 29 \\ x^2 - 4x - 9 - 29 = 0 \\ x^2 - 4x - 38 = 0 \\ x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} 
$ ; where a = 1, b = -4 and c = -38
$x= \frac{-(-4) \pm 
\sqrt{ 
(-4)^{2} -4 \times 1 \times -38} }{2 \times 1} \\ = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{ 16 +152} }{2} \\ =\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{ 168} }{2} \\ =\frac{4 \pm 
2\sqrt{42} }{2} \\ 
=2+\sqrt{42} \ or \ 2-\sqrt{42}\\=8.48 \ or \ -4.48$

Write an equation, in the slope intercept form, of the line with an x-intercept at (3 , 0) and a y-intercept at (0 , -5).

mamaluj [8]

Hello : let A(3,0) B(0,-5)
the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(-5-0)/(0-3) = 5/3

an equation, in the slope intercept form is : y - (-5) = (5/3)(x-0)
y = (5/3)x - 5
