An irrigation system (sprinkler) has a parabolic pattern. The height, in feet, of the spray of water is given by the equation h(

x) = -x^2+10x+7.5 where x is the number of feet away from the sprinkler head (along the ground) the spray is.
The irrigation system is positioned____ feet above the ground to start.
The spray reaches a maximum height of ____feet at a horizontal distance of feet away from the sprinkler head.

Answer:

  • 7.5 ft
  • 32.5 ft, 5 ft
  • 10.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The starting height is h(0) = 7.5 feet, the constant in the quadratic function.

The irrigation system is positioned <u> 7.5 </u> feet above the ground

__

b) The axis of symmetry for quadratic ax^2 +bx +c is x = -b/(2a). For this quadratic, that is x=-10/(2(-1)) = 5. This is the horizontal distance to the point of maximum height. The maximum height is ...

  h(5) = (-5 +10)(5) +7.5 = 32.5 . . . feet

The spray reaches a maximum height of <u> 32.5 </u> feet at a horizontal distance of <u> 5 </u> feet from the sprinkler head.

__

c) The maximum distance will be √32.5 + 5 ≈ 10.7 ft.

The spray reaches the ground at about <u> 10.7 </u> feet away.

Line l has a slope of 98. The line through which of the following pair of points is perpendicular to l? A. (−9,−6),(3,3) B. (9,−
Valentin [98]

We can employ some logic to reduce the answers we need to test. We know that the slope perpendicular to line l has to have a negative reciprocal slope, so a slope of-\frac{9}{8}. We see that in A and C, as x increases so does y. That means the slope of these equations are positive, which we don't want. Now for some algebra:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \implies\\ B. \frac{6+2}{-6-9}=\frac{8}{-15} \\ D. \frac{3+5}{-6-3}=-\frac{8}{9}

We se that D has the correct slope so that must be the answer.

Answer:

One forth of 20 is 5, so there are 5 kindergarten and first grade classrooms.

5 x 2 is 10 so there are 10 second and third grade classrooms.

10 + 5 is 15.

20 - 15 is 5.

There are 5 forth and fifth grade classes.
