Answer:
7703.66666667
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the direction the ball is moving, so wee have this parametric equation, namely:

Note that this parametric equation is an ellipse. The graph of this equation is given in figure below. So, we well substitute some values of t in the equation:
If t = 0
x = 4 and y = 3
P0(4, 3)
if t = 1
x = 3.08 and y = 5.52
P1(3.08, 5.52)
if t = 2
x = 1.16 and y = 5.72
P2(1.16, 5.72)
Finally, as shown in the figure, the answer is
B. counterclockwise. Notice the trajectory that follows P0, P1 and P2.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it convenient to use a graphing calculator to graph the function.
The "start" is x=0, where the distance from the sprinkler head is 0 feet. The value of h(0) is 9.5, the height of the sprinkler head.
- The irrigation system is positioned <u> 9.5 </u> feet above the ground.
The graph shows the vertex of the curve is (5, 34.5), meaning that a height of 34.5 feet is reached 5 feet horizontally from the sprinkler.
- The spray reaches a <u> maximum </u> height of <u> 34.5 </u> feet at a horizontal distance of <u> 5 </u> feet away from the sprinkler head.
- The spray reaches all the way to the ground at about <u> 10.9 </u> feet away.
The graph shows the x-intercept at about 10.9. That is where the height of the spray is 0 feet above the ground.
