When a sprinkler is installed in the ground, the spray of water goes up and falls in the pattern of a parabola. The height, in i

nches, of a spray of water is given by the equation ℎ()=160−162 where is the number of feet away from the sprinkler head the spray is. What is the height of the spray 2 feet away from the sprinkler head?

Answer:

96feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height, in inches, of a spray of water is given by the equation ℎ(x)=160−16x^2

x is the number of feet away from the sprinkler head the spray

To get the height of the spray 2 feet away from the sprinkler head, we will simply substitute x =2 into the function and et the height h as shown;

From the equation

ℎ(x)=160−16x^2

h(2) = 160-16(2)²

h(2) = 160-16(4)

h(2) = 160-64

h(2) = 96feet

Hence the height will be 96feet if the spray is 2feet away from the sprinklers head

2x²-5x-12=0 (simplify solution set)
Arada [10]

Answer:

x = 4 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify and solve this, let's use the quadratic formula.

So the format of a quadratic equation is supposed look like this:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Let's find a, b, c:

  • a is the coefficient of x^2
  • b is the coefficient of x
  • c is the constant term

Now let's solve the equation.

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x^2−5x−12=0

For this equation: a=2, b=-5, c=-12

2x^2+−5x+−12=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=-5, c=-12.

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-12)} }{2(2)}

x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{121} }{4}

x=4 or x=\frac{-3}{2}

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 or x = -3/2
