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.

IL<br> 8x-9<br> 5x-3<br> What’s x
shepuryov [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-9=5x-3

Move any equation to the opposite side. I'll use the left this time

8x - 8x - 9 + 9 = 5x - 8x - 3 + 9

0 =  - 3x  + 6

move 6 to opp side

- 3x =  - 6

\frac{ - 6 =  - 3x}{ - 3}

x = 2

7g + 11 subtracted from 12
BlackZzzverrR [31]
A subtracted from b means b-a

7g+11 subtracted from 12 means 12-(7g+11)=12-1(7g+11)=12-7g-11=12-11-7g=1-7g

Sixty percent of the students at a certain school wear neither a ring nor a necklace. Twenty percent wear a ring and 30 percent
Reptile [31]

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

60 % wear neither ring nor a necklace

20 % wear a ring

30 % wear necklace

This question can be Solved by using Venn diagram

If one person is choosen randomly  among the given student the probability that this student is wearing a ring or necklace is

P\left ( wear \ ring\ or \ necklace )+P\left ( neither\ ring\ or\ necklace)=1

P\left ( wear \ ring\ or\ necklace )=1-0.6=0.4

The sum of probabilty is equal to 1 because it completes the set

Therefore the required probabilty is 0.4
