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 inches, of a spray of water is given by the equation h(x)=160x−16x2 where x 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?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) 256 inches

(2) 5 feet

(3) 400 inches

(4) 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) The function that gives the height in inches of the spray of water at a distance x from the sprinkler head is given as follows;

h(x) = 160·x - 16·x²

At x = 2 feet, we have;

h(2) = 160 × 2 - 16 × 2² = 256

Therefore, the height of the spray water at a horizontal distance of 2 feet from the sprinkler head h(2) = 256 inches

(2) The x-coordinate, [tex]x_{max}[/tex], of the maximum point of a parabola given in the form, y = a·x² + b·x + c is found using the following formula;

[tex]x_{max}[/tex] = -b/(2·a)

The x-coordinate, [tex]x_{max}[/tex], of the maximum point of the given equation of the parabola, h(x) = 160·x - 16·x², (a = -16, b = 160) is therefore;

[tex]x_{max}[/tex] = -160/(2 × (-16)) = 5

Therefore, the number of feet along the way, the function will reach maximum height, [tex]x_{max}[/tex] = 5 feet

(3) The function, h(x) = 160·x - 16·x², will reach maximum height, [tex]h_{max}[/tex], at x = 5, therefore;

[tex]h_{max}[/tex] =  h(5) = 160 × 5 - 16 × 5² = 400

The maximum height of the spray, [tex]h_{max}[/tex] = 400 inches

(4) The water is at ground level where h(x) = 0, therefore;

At ground level, h(x) = 0 = 160·x - 16·x²

160·x - 16·x² = 0

∴ 16·x × (10 - x) = 0

By zero product rule, we 16·x = 0, or (10 - x)  = 0, from which we have;

x = 0, or x = 10

The water is at ground level at x = 0 and x = 10 feet, therefore, the water will hit the ground again (the second time after leaving the sprinkler head at x = 0) at x = 10 feet.

help please! how do I calculate the coordinates of point a so that at is an altitude?

Answers

Part (a)

Since we want segment AT to be an altitude, this means that point A is somewhere on segment RI such that angle TAI is 90 degrees. In other words, segments AT and RI are perpendicular. Check out the diagram below.

We'll need to find the slope of line RI, so we'll need the slope formula

R = (x1,y1) = (-2,-2)

I = (x2,y2) = (4,1)

m = slope of line RI

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (1-(-2))/(4-(-2))

m = (1+2)/(4+2)

m = 3/6

m = 1/2

m = 0.5

The slope of line RI is 1/2 or 0.5

Now let's use point R(-2,-2) along with that slope we just found to find the equation of line RI.

Turn to point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-2) = 0.5(x -(-2))

y + 2 = 0.5(x + 2)

y + 2 = 0.5x + 1

y = 0.5x + 1 - 2

y = 0.5x - 1

This is the equation of line RI. We'll use it later.

----------

We found that the slope of line RI was 1/2.

The negative reciprocal involves us flipping the fraction and flipping the sign to get -2/1 or simply -2.

The perpendicular slope is -2. This is the slope of altitude AT.

We want line AT to go through T(-2,4), so we'll use this point along with the perpendicular slope we just found to calculate the equation of line AT.

We'll turn to the point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = -2(x - (-2))

y - 4 = -2(x + 2)

y - 4 = -2x - 4

y = -2x - 4 + 4

y = -2x

The equation of the line that goes through points A and T is y = -2x.

----------

To summarize so far, we have these two equations

y = 0.5x - 1 .... equation of line RIy = -2x .... equation of line AT

Apply substitution to solve for (x,y) to find the intersection point. This will determine where point A is located.

y = 0.5x - 1

-2x = 0.5x - 1

-2x-0.5x = -1

-2.5x = -1

x = -1/(-2.5)

x = 0.4

Then we can determine y like so

y = -2x

y = -2(0.4)

y = -0.8

Therefore, point A is located at (0.4, -0.8). Both coordinate values are exact. In fraction form, we can say that the point is (2/5, -4/5), but I find decimals easier to work with in this instance.

Answer:  (0.4, -0.8)

===============================================================

Part (b)

To find the length of segment AT, we can find the distance from A to T. As you can probably guess, we'll use the distance formula.

A = (x1,y1) = (0.4, -0.8) ... found back in part (a)

T = (x2,y2) = (-2, 4) ... given

[tex]d = \sqrt{ (x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ (-2-0.4)^2+(4 - (-0.8))^2 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ (-2-0.4)^2+(4 + 0.8)^2 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ (-2.4)^2+(4.8)^2 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ 5.76+23.04 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ 28.8 }\\\\d \approx 5.36656\\\\d \approx 5.37\\\\[/tex]

The distance from point A to point T is approximately 5.37 units. This means that segment AT is roughly 5.37 units long.

there are 108 flowers. 1/9 of them bloomed. How many did not bloom? How many did?

Answers

Answer:

96 flowers did not bloom and 12 did.

Explanation:

Total flower = 108

Number of flower that bloomed

= ⅑ of the total flowers

= ⅑ of 108

= ⅑ × 108

= 108/9

= 12

So, number of flowers that did not bloom

= Total flowers - Number of flowers that bloomed

= 108 - 12

= 96

So, 96 flowers did not bloom and 12 flowers did.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the figure= 3 * (Volume of a cube with side 2)

Volume of the figure= 3*2^3=24 in^3

Answer:

24 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding volume is b*h*w.

b*h*w is base multiplied my height multiplied my width. Lets use this formula to find the volume of one of cubes.

Here is the information we know about the cubes:

the base is 2 inches

the height is 2 inches

the width is 2 inches

Lets put this information into the formula to find the volume of one of the cubes. I will show the work in steps so it is easy to follow.

Step one: plug the given information into the formula.

b*h*w = 2*2*2

Step two: Solve the equation.

2*2*2 = 4*2 = 8

Now we have the volume of one on the cubes. This is 8 cubic inches. However, to find the volume of all three of the cubes we must multiply 8 by 3.

Step three: multiply 8 by 3.

8*3 = 24

And there you have it! Our final answer is 24 cubic inches.

Here is a quick review of what we did to get our answer:

2*2*2 = 8

8*3 = 24

4.8 * 10^4 the decimal is shifted 4 places the right which is 48000 where you have no numbers, you use zeros.

2.01 * 10^6 means that you shift the decimal 6 places to the right.

a right angle is 90°, or 1/4 of a circle.

3/5 * 1/4 = 3/20

radian measure is the length of the circumference of this part of the circle.

a full circumference of a circle would be 2*pi*r, also expressed as 2 rad * r

now let's multiply the full thing with the 3/20 from earlier to just get the desired fraction:

6/20 rad * r

= 3/10 rad * r

of course a solution in cm or inch still depends on the radius here, wich could be just plugged in at will

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3\pi }{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To express degrees in radians

radian measure = degree measure × [tex]\frac{\pi }{180}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of a right angle

= [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] × 90° = 54° , then

radian = 54 × [tex]\frac{\pi }{180}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{54}{180}[/tex] × π = [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] × π = [tex]\frac{3\pi }{10}[/tex]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

A step function is a function that looks like stairs when you graph it. Normally the end of one line will be graphed as an open circle (less or greater than, not equal to) while the other end would be a closed circle. This allows for a new line of the function to start directly above it without it not being a function (an input cannot have two outputs)

The function f(x)=4 is just a horizontal line as it has a slope of 0 (there is no x on the right side of the equation), so this doesn't resemble a step function.

Sammy and Hannah both want to get leeks as their star ingredient. Sammy will draw first, followed by Hannah.
What is the probability that NEITHER contestant draws leeks?
Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

The probability that neither of them draws the Leeks card is P = 4/6 = 0.667

Here we can assume that all the cards have the same probability of being randomly drawn.

The cards are:

Cabbage Spinach Kale Leeks Carrots Turnips

So we have 6 cards. We want to find the probability that neither contestant draws the "Leeks" card.

Sammy draws first, the probability of drawing the Leeks card will be equal to the quotient between the number of Leeks cards (one) and the total number of cards (6).

Then the probability of drawing the leeks card is p = 1/6

This means that the probability of NOT drawing the leeks card is:

q = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.

Now draws Hanna, now there are 5 cards in the deck (because one was already drawn). With the same approach as before, the probability of drawing the Leeks card is p = 1/5, then the probability of NOT drawing the card is:

q = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5.

The joint probability (this is, the probability of both of these events to happen together) is just the product of the individual probabilities.

Then the probability that neither of them draws the Leeks card is:

P = (4/5)*(5/6) = 4/6 = 0.667
