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.

What does the line y=k-1/4a represent in y=a(x-h)^2+k, the standard form of equation for a parabola?
Vlad [161]
The answer should be the directrix because k represents the y-value of the vertex, and for this questions the parabola is probably facing upward, so the directrix is under the vertex.

2/7m-1/7=3/14<br><br> Please solve showing work
lawyer [7]
(2/7)m - (1/7) = 3/14
2m/7 =(3/14) + (1/7)
2m/7 = (3/14) + 2(1/7)
here we are multiplying 2 with 1/7 to make the denominator same for addition.
2m/7 = (3/14) +(2/14)
2m/7 = (3 + 2)/14
2m/7 = 5/14
2m = (5 *7)/14
2m = 35/14
2m = 5/2
m = 5/4
m = 1.25
So the value of "m" is 1.25

Find any points of discontinuity for the rational function. y=x-5/x^2-7x-8
kotegsom [21]
For discontinuity of the function:
x² - 7 x - 8 ≠ 0
x² - 8 x + x - 8 = 0
x ( x - 8 ) + ( x - 8 ) ≠ 0
( x - 8 ) ( x + 1 ) ≠ 0
The points of discontinuity are: x = - 1 and x = 8.
As for the Domain of the function:
x ∈ ( - ∞, - 1 ) ∪ ( - 1 , 8 ) ∪ ( 8, +∞ ).
