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?

When A Sprinkler Is Installed In The Ground, The Spray Of Water Goes Up And Falls In The Pattern Of A

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.

Find the value of x in each case

Answers

Answer: x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we first need to understand the figure. We know TV and RS are parallel lines. If we extend TV to the left, we get a straight line parallel to RS. By Alternate Interior Angles, We know ∠R is equivalent to ∠T on the very left. Therefore, we can set it equal to 180° and solve.

x+2x+x=180          [combine like terms]

4x=180                  [divide both sides by 4]

x=45

Now, we know x=45.

Which set of polar coordinates describes the same location as the
rectangular coordinates (1. - 1)?
A. (sqrt2,315°)
B. (-1,135°) C. (sqrt2,225°)
D. (1,45°)

Answers

Answer:

The polar coordinates appear in the form (r, θ), where r is the the radius from the center and θ is the angle. To get the radius, do the following.

[tex]r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{2}\\[/tex]

You can get the angle visually by drawing a point (1, -1) on a graph and seeing that it is 45 degrees from the top right quadrant (you can tell its 45 because both x and y have the same magnitude). Since there are 360 degrees, 360 - 45 = 315.

If you would like to find it mathematically, this is the way to do it

[tex]\theta = atan(y/x) = -45[/tex]

Notice that -45 degrees is just 360 - 45 = 315

Your answer would be

[tex](\sqrt{2}, 315)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the teachers are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

1 from a set of 2(Either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan).

3 from a set of 18 - 2 = 16. So

[tex]C_{2,1}C_{16,3} = \frac{2!}{1!1!} \times \frac{16!}{3!13!} = 1120[/tex]

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.

Verify the identity.

[tex]cot (x-\frac{\pi }{2})=-tan[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that you meant to write

cot (x-π//2) = - tan x

the identity is TRUE because,

- you can graph cot (x-π//2)  and  - tan x, and see that the graphs overlap

OR

-you solve for cot (x-π/2)

useful to know is that :

cot x=1/tan x, tan x = sin x/cos x,  

cos(x) =cos(-x), sin(-x) = -sin x,

cos(π/2 -x) =sin x, sin (π/2-x) =cos x

cot (x-π/2) = 1/tan (x-π/2) , yet tangent is sin x/cos x

cot (x-π/2) = cos (x-π/2) /sin (x-π/2) , factor -1

cot (x-π/2) = cos -(π/2-x) /sin -(π/2-x),  use facts: cos(x) =cos(-x), sin(-x) = -sin x

cot (x-π/2) = cos (π/2-x) / -sin (π/2-x), use cos(π/2 -x) =sin x, sin (π/2-x) =cos x

cot (x-π/2) = sin x / -cos x , again sin x /cos x = tan x

cot (x-π/2) = -tan x

help find the height

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Heron's formula finds the area of any triangle.

Area = sqrt(s*(s - a)*(s-b)*(s-c) )

s = (a + b + c)/2

a = 8

b = 16

c = 12

s = 36/2 = 18

s-a = 18 - 8 = 10

s-b = 18 - 16 = 2

s-c = 18 - 12 = 6

Area = sqrt(18*10*2*6) = sqrt(2160)

Area = 12*sqrt(15)

Area = 46.4758

Now x is easily found. It is the altitude to 16

Area = 1/2 16 * h

46.4758 * 2 / 16 = h

h = 3*sqrt(15)/2

h= 5.81

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular prism has 5 sides. We can start with the top and bottom, which have a base of 7 km and a height of 8km, making each of their areas equal to 7 * 8/2 = 28. Adding those up, we get 28+28 = 56 km² as the surface area of the top and bottom portions.

Next, we have the face that has 7 as the base and 11 as the height. The area of that is 7 * 11 = 77km²

After that, we have the face with 8 as the base and 11 as the height, making the area of that 8 * 11 = 88km²

Finally, we have the face with 9 as the base and 11 as the height, making that area 9 * 11 = 99km²

Adding these all up, the total surface area is

56 + 77 + 88 + 99 = 320km²

Answer:

A) (-8, -16)

B) (0, 48)

C) (-4, 0), (-12, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) the vertex is the minimum y value.

extremes of a function we get by using the first derivation and solving it for y' = 0.

y = x² + 16x + 48

y' = 2x + 16 = 0

2x = -16

x = -8

so, the vertex is at x=-8.

the y value is (-8)² + 16(-8) + 48 = 64 - 128 + 48 = -16

B) is totally simple. it is f(0) or x=0. so, y is 48.

C) is the solution of the equation for y = 0.

the solution for such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

in our case here

a=1

b=16

c=48

x = (-16 ± sqrt(16² - 4×48)) / 2 = (-16 ± sqrt(256-192)) / 2 =

= (-16 ± sqrt(64)) / 2 = (-16 ± 8) / 2 = (-8 ± 4)

x1 = -8 + 4 = -4
