The horizontal distance from the firefighter at which the maximum height of water occurs is 10.83m
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
h(x) = -0.026x² + 0.563x + 3
where,
h(x) is the height of the water
Initial speed, u = 14m/s
angle, θ = 30°
(a)
Horizontal distance = ?
h(x) = ax² + bx + c
the vertex is found at x = -b/2a
where,
x = distance to the maximum height
As compared to the equation given:
a = -0.026
b = 0.563
Thus,
Therefore, horizontal distance from the firefighter at which the maximum height of water occurs is 10.83m
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Omar rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $17.95, and there was an additional charge of 98 cents for each mile driven. Omar had to pay $23 when he returned the truck. For how many mile did he drive the truck?
Answer: Omar drove the truck for 5.15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Base fee = 17.95 $
Additional charge per mile = 98 cents = 0.98 $ ( 100cents = 1$)
Now Omar payed = 22 $
Let the miles he travelled = x
Now , 
Solvimg for x :
Thus Omar drove the truck for 5.15 miles
The variable a cannot be zero because that would make -9a = zero and 8 divided by zero is indeterminate.
