(8) Radha, an aspiring landscape designer, is tasked with creating a visually captivating pool design that incorporates a unique arrangement of fountains. The challenge entails arranging the fountains in such a way that when water is thrown upwards, it forms the shape of a parabola, The graph of one such parabola is given below. 37. {40 __* 4 fater level downward-facing parabola representing the water fountain is given by p(x) = -x* + 5x 4.

It h is the maximum height attained by the water stream from the water level of the pool, then find the value of h. OR At what point(s) on x- axis, the height of water above x- axis is 2 m? Rinku was very happy to receive a fancy jumbo pencil from his best friend Rohan on his birthday. Pencil is a basic writing tool, when sharpened its shape is a combination of cylinder & cone as given in the picture. Cylindrical pencil with conical head is a common shape worldwide since ages. Commonly pencils are made up of wood & plastic but we should promote pencils, made up of eco-friendly material (many options available in the market these days) to save environment. The dimensions of Rinku's pencil are given as follows: Length of cylindrical portion is 21cm. Diameter of the base is 1 cm and height of the conical portion is 1.2 cm Based on the above information, answer the following questions: (i) _ | Find the slant height of the sharpened part. 1 (ii) _ | Find curved surface area of sharpened part (in terms of 7) 1 (iii(A) | Find the total surface area of the pencil (in terms of m). 2 oR (B) | The pencil's total height decreases by 8.2 cm after sharpening it many times,] 2 what is the volume of the cylindrical part of the shortened pencil (in terms of )? © scanned wth onENScmner
