Step-by-step explanation:

In the standard form of a quadratic,

h(x)=-x^2+v_0x+h_0 ,

that last term, the h0, is the initial height off the ground that the object is. That means that for the first question, the irrigation system is initially 9.5 feet off the ground.

In order to answer the next question, we need to find the vertex of the parabola, because this is where the max height will occur and at how many feet away from the system. The max height is the k of the vertex and the horizontal distance away is the h of the vertex: (h, k). Thankfully, we have simple formulas to find those:

$h=-\frac{b}{2a}$ and $k=c-\frac{b^2}{4a}$ where a, b, and c come from the coefficients in the equation. For us, a = -1, b = 10, and c = 9.5. Finding h first:

$h=-\frac{10}{2(-1)}=\frac{-10}{-2}=5$

and now k:

$k=9.5-(\frac{10^2}{4(-1)})=9.5-(\frac{100}{-4} )=9.5-(-25)=9.5+25=34.5$

Summing it up, the vertex is at (5, 34.5), The interpretation of that is that "The spray reaches a max height of 34.5 feet at a horizontal distance of 5 feet away from the sprinkler head."

Next we are asked how far away from the sprinkler head the water hits the ground. To do this we factor the expression to find the zeros. The zeros tell us where the water will hit the ground after it reaches its max height and then falls back down to earth.

I used my calculator to factor this for me to get that the water will hit the ground 10.87 feet away from the sprinkler head.

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b. this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes. this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes. this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes. this makes them dependent events.
