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
