An umbrella sprinkler is positioned on a ceiling at a point whose x- coordinate is 0. Negative values of a indicate distances, i

n meters, to the left of the position of the sprinkler, and positive values indicate distances to the right. The path of water from the sprinkler can be modeled by the quadratic function
w(x) = -1/4(x^2 -12 ) where w(x) is the height of the water, in meters, at position x.

Required:
Which equivalent expressions displays the height of the ceiling as a constant or coefficient?

Answer:

-1/4x² + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Path of sprinkler is modeled by the quadratic function :

w(x) = -1/4(x^2 -12 )

w(x) = height of the water, in meters, at position x

The height of ceiling as a constant or Coefficient = w(x)

Expanding w(x)

-1/4(x^2 -12 )

-1/4 * x² + 1/4 * 12

-1/4x² + 3

The height of ceiling is -1/4x² + 3

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

2.16 \times  {10}^{ - 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The lab technician is dividing a cell that has a diameter of

4 .32 \times  {10}^{ - 4}

The new cells has a diameter that is half of the diameter of the original cell.

The diameter of the new cell is given as:

\frac{4.32 \times  {10}^{ - 4} }{2}

Rewrite the numerator in standard notation:

\frac{0.000432}{2}

= 0.00216

We rewrite in scientific notation to obtain:

2.16 \times  {10}^{ - 4}
