Question

The function h(d) = 2d+4.3 relates the h height of the water in a fountain in feet to the d diameter of the pipe carrying the water. Graph the function on a calculator and use the graph to find the height of the water when the pipe has a diameter of 1.5 inches

Answer 1

you can do what the directions say and enter the function into a calculator. if you're having trouble learning how to graph on a calculator, i would suggest looking up a tutorial with pictures or videos, since it would be really confusing to explain through text alone on this site.

however, you can solve it without use of a calculator; just plug in 1.5 inches for d.

h = 2(1.5) + 4.3
h = 7.3

the height is 7.3 when the diameter is 1.5

the way you should find this on a graph entered into a calculator would be by "tracing" the graph ("trace" should be a button on your calc). it prompts you to pick like a left/right bound, if i remember correctly, and it'll guess the point in the middle of them. if a graphing tutorial isn't helpful, you can always refer to the table function as well and change the settings so that it lets you enter your own x-values (yet another thing you can find how to do in the instruction booklet that came with your calc, or a visual tutorial). sorry i couldn't be more helpful in regards to the actual graphing! it's just a pretty confusing process to explain unless you can physically show the person with a calc of your own

Answer 2

The height of the water is 7.3 feet when the pipe has a diameter of 1.5 inches

Given :

The function h(d) = 2d+4.3 relates the h height of the water in a fountain in feet to the d diameter of the pipe carrying the water.

Graph the given function using graphing calculator

While graphing we write the function in terms of x  and y

Write the given function as y=2x+4.3

The graph is attached below

Now we look at the y value when x=1.5

The value of y is 7.3  when x=1.5 from the graph

So we can say that the height of the water is 7.3 feet when the pipe has a diameter of 1.5 inches
