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.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The question is about the least amount to charge each policyholder as premium

The least premium is $484

Step-by-step explanation:

The least amount of premium to charge for this policy is the sum of the expected values of outcome of both instances of policyholder dying before the age of 70 and living after the age of 70 years

expected value of dying before 70 years=payout*probability=$24,200*2%=$484

Expected of living after 70=payout*probability=$0*98%=$0

sum of expected values=$484+$0=$484

Note that payout is nil if policyholder lives beyond 70 years

The premium of $573 means that a profit of $89 is recorded

The population of a city is expected to
Furkat [3]

\huge\boxed{1.0925p}

Since the population is going to increase by a certain percentage, we have to add 100\% to the percentage to keep the original population.

9.25\%+100\%=109.25\%

Now, convert the percentage into a decimal. You can do this by moving the decimal place two places to the left.

109.25\longrightarrow 1.0925

Now, just multiply that by p.

\large\boxed{1.0925p}

Simplify what is written here
Inessa05 [86]

When multiplying terms that have the same base (in this case, x) but different exponents, you can add their exponents to make them one term.


In this case, we can add the exponents of x:

x \cdot x^5 \cdot x^5

x^{(1 + 5 + 5)}

\boxed{x^{11}}


A simplified version is x^{11}.

A short necklace has 32 gold beads and 8 black beads.
joja [24]

Answer:

12 black beads

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ration of gold beads to black beads on the short necklace:

\frac{gold}{black}=\frac{32}{8}=\frac{4}{1}

Since the ratio of 4:1 has 5 total parts, you can take the total amount of beads in the long necklace and divide by 5:

60 ÷ 5 = 12

12 beads represents 1 part of the ratio, so that would be the number of black beads.  To check, multiply 12 by 4:  12 x 4 = 48, and set up a ratio:

48: 12 = 4: 1
