Answer:
<u><em>y = -190 cos(π t / 120) + 195</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>General form of a sinusoidal function: y = A cos(Bt - C) + D
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Now generally a cosine function starts at the maximum value, so to start at the minimum value, flip the cosine function by making it negative.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>A is the amplitude of the curve and will be the radius of the ferris wheel. Therefore, A = 380 / 2 = 190 feet.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
2π / B is the period of the curve and will be the time to complete one full rotation. The time to complete one full rotation is given as 4 minutes. Convert this into seconds to get period = 4 minutes * (60 seconds / minute) = 240 seconds. Therefore, B = 2π / period = 2π / 240 seconds = π / 120.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
C/B is the phase shift, or horizontal shift of the graph. Since the negative cosine function already starts at the minimum value, there is no phase shift so C/B = 0, meaning C = 0.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
D is the vertical shift and will be the height of the center of the ferris wheel. Therefore, D = 195 feet.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
Your final function will be:</em>
<u><em>y = -190 cos(π t / 120) + 195</em></u>
Answer:
No, these triangles cannot lie on the same line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation: For two triangles to lie on the same line they must have the same slope. slopes are negative because the triangles are leaning to the left.
Answer:
Estimate = 0.4
Quotient = 0.355 ---> Approximated to nearest thousandth
Step-by-step explanation:
Question like this is better answered using attachment;
See Attachment
When 1.066 is divided by 3,
The quotient is 0.3553......
When estimating to tenths,
We stop the quotient at 0.35 then round it up.
This gives 0.4
When estimating to nearest thousandth,
We stop the quotient at 0.3553 then round it up;
This gives 0.355
