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.

HELP ASAP
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The equation of the function: y = mx + b

  • m = slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = [5 - (-3)]/(4 - 0) = (5 + 3)/4 = 8/4 = 2
  • b = y-intercept = -3

Therefore, the equation is <u>f(x) = 2x - 3</u>

When x = 0, f(x) = 2(0) - 3 = <u>-3</u>

When x increases by 1, f(x) increases by <u>2</u> (slope = the rate of change)

A rectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a​ single-strand electric
allochka39001 [22]
I'm fairly certain that using that wire you can have the same area no matter what dimensions there are, but if you do the square root, or \sqrt{} of 19,001,900 then you get 4359.11688. So your dimensions are 4359.11688 x 4359.11688. To get area, do length x width to get <span>1.9*1 0^{7}.

Hope this helped! If it did, please give me a good rating and mark me brainiest.<span /></span>
