The function h (d) = 2d + 4.3 relates the height (h) of the water in a fountain in feet to the diameter (d) of the pipe carrying the water in inches. Find h (1.5) and interpret your solution in the context of the problem find the value of d when h (d) = 10.3 and interpret your solution in the context of the problem

Answer:

h(1.5) = 7.3 ft

h(10.3) = 24.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function h(d) = 2d + 4.3,

where:

h = height of the water in a fountain (in feet)

d = diameter of the pipe carrying the water (in inches)

h(1.5)

Substitute the input value of d = 1.5, into the function:

h(1.5) = 2(1.5) + 4.3

h(1.5) = 3 + 4.3

h(1.5) = 7 feet

The height of the water in a fountain is 7 feet when the diameter of the pipe is 1.5 inches.

h(10.3)

Substitute the input value of d = 10.3, into the function:

h(10.3) = 2(10.3) + 4.3

h(10.3) = 20.6 + 4.3

h(10.3) = 24.9 feet

The height of the water in a fountain is 24.9 feet when the diameter of the pipe is 10.3 inches.

Context of the solutions to h(1.5) and h(10.3):

The solutions to both functions show the relationship between the diameter of the pipe to the height of the water in a fountain.  The height of the water in fountain increases relative to the diameter of the pipe.  In other words, as the diameter or the size of the pipe increases or widens, the height of the water in a fountain also increases.
