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

Answer:
1168/3 or 389 1/3 as a mixed fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
4^2 (4×36/6 + 1/3)
4×36/6 = (4×36)/6:
4^2 ((4×36)/6 + 1/3)
4^2 = 16:
16 ((4×36)/6 + 1/3)
36/6 = (6×6)/6 = 6:
16 (4×6 + 1/3)
4×6 = 24:
16 (24 + 1/3)
Put 1/3 + 24 over the common denominator 3. 1/3 + 24 = 1/3 + (3×24)/3:
16 1/3 + (3×24)/3
3×24 = 72:
16 (1/3 + 72/3)
1/3 + 72/3 = (1 + 72)/3:
16 (1 + 72)/3
1 + 72 = 73:
16×73/3
16×73/3 = (16×73)/3:
(16×73)/3
