Functions can be used to model real life situations.
The hose is 3.2 feet above the ground, at a horizontal distance of 4 fee
The function is given as:

At a horizontal distance of 4 feet, the value of x is 4
i.e. 
Substitute 4 for x in f(x).
So, we have:

Evaluate the exponent

Open both brackets

Add -4.8 and 8

Hence, the hose is 3.2 feet above the ground

9801
99 is the greatest 2 digit number so if you do 99x99 you will get 9801
Answer:
(2, -3) and r = 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
you can also plug this equation in desmos but I guess it's good to know how to do it also:
The equation of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
Now in order to make a perfect square on both sides, we need to do this:
First add 9 to both sides:
x^2 + 6x + 9 + y^2 -4y +4 = 9.
I purposely shifted it to show the perfect square created when you add 9 to both sides. Factor:
(x+3)^2 + y^2 - 4y + 4 = 9.
now the second bolded part is allso a perfect square. Factor:
(x+3)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 9
Based on the equation of a circle, the center must be at (2, -3) and the radius is the square root of 9 which is 3.
