Question 94858 • LUSD-Int Math 2(A) LT2 Rational and Irrational Numbers (A-G)

The curve produced by the water coming from a hose is sketched onto a graph with zeros at 0 and 5. The point (4, 1) also lies on the curve. If h(x) represents the vertical distance from where the water first comes out of the hose and x represents the horizontal distance, which statements are true? Check all that apply.The scenario can be represented by the function h(x) = –0.25(x)(x – 5). The scenario can be represented by the function h(x) = (x)(x + 5).The vertex is on the line x = 2.5.The greatest height that the water reaches is 1.5 units.The scenario can be represented by the function h(x) = –1(x – 5).

Answer
A
The scenario can be represented by the function h(x) = –0.25(x)(x – 5).
B
The scenario can be represented by the function h(x) = (x)(x + 5).
C
The vertex is on the line x = 2.5.
D
The greatest height that the water reaches is 1.5 units.
E
The scenario can be represented by the function h(x) = –1(x – 5).
