The end of a hose was resting on the ground, pointing up an angle. Sal measured the path of the water coming out of the hose and

found that it could be modeled using the equation f(x) = –0.3x2 + 2x, where f(x) is the height of the path of the water above the ground, in feet, and x is the horizontal distance of the path of the water from the end of the hose, in feet.
When the water was 4 feet from the end of the hose, what was its height above the ground?

Find f(4)
f(4)=-0.3(4^2)+2(4)
f(4)=-0.3(16)+8
f(4)=-4.8+8
f(4)=3.2

Answer:

3.2 feet


Step-by-step explanation:

The equation  f(x)=-0.3x^{2}+2x  shows the height of water [f(x)] and horizontal distance [x].

<em>Given the </em><em>horizontal distance is 4 feet</em><em>, they want to know the height.</em>


<em>Simply put 4 in x of the equation and solve for f(x). So,</em>

<em>f(x)=-0.3(4)^{2}+2(4)\\f(x)=3.2</em>

So, the height of the water was 3.2 feet above the ground.

<span>There is not a property of "1" for addition, but the identity property in this case uses "0" instead. If a number is increased by 1, the value will necessary be increased or decreased by the amount added or subtracted. However, if the number either adds or subtracts zero, then value will be left unchanged. Examples: 3+1 = 4, but 3+0 = 3,</span>
