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.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, -2) and is parallel to the line with equation -3x+y=4
Ivanshal [37]
Y = 3x + 1 
Parallel lines have the same slope so the slope would be 3. Take the given equation and add the 3x to the other side. Using the given point. -2 (y point) = 3(-1(x point)) + b. Solve for b by adding the 3 over. b = 1 which is your y intercept.

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole ?
mezya [45]
To start solving, separate this shape into 2 separate shapes. The dimensions of the smaller shape are 2 by 3 feet. The dimensions of the larger one are 3 by 11 feet. To find the area of an object, multiply its dimensions. Therefore, you multiply 2 by 3 and 3 by 11. You will get the products 6 and 33. Since we are still working within the same shape, however, you add the products together. You get 39. Therefore, 39 ft. squared is the answer.
