*Algebra 2 word problem* Melons are spaced 1 meter apart in a square x-y grid. One plant is replaced by an irrigation sprayer. The sprayer covers those plants that satisfy the relationship x^2 + y^2 is less than or equal to 20 meters, with the sprayer at (0, 0). What are all the possible x and y coordinates of plants watered by this sprayer? List the possible x and y coordinates as separate sets and sketch this situation. Is the relationship of x and y a function? Why?

??..Question is wrong..isnt it?

anonymous · Answer

What are you referring to?

anonymous · Answer

The range os sprinkler is not specified'

anonymous · Answer

The sprayer covers the plants that satisfy the relationship x^2 + y^2 < (or equal to) 20 meters. The problem is asking me to identify the range of the sprinkler.

anonymous · Answer

are the melons one meter apart from their centres or circumference.

anonymous · Answer

The problem is just saying that there is one meter in between each melon.

anonymous · Answer

So on the x-y grid, there would be a blank space between each coordinate of the "melons".

anonymous · Answer

Yeah exactly

anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure what exactly you're confused about.
