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.

If 10 percent of x is 20 what is 23 percent of x
Zarrin [17]
X = 200 because when finding 10% of s number we divide the number to 10. then you find 23 percent of 200. which is 46, because percentages are found out of 100 and 200 is 100 multiplied by 2. So we have to multiply 23 by 2. the answer is 46.
