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>
just use what you know about this stuff
(a+36d)/(a+20d) = (a+55d)/(a+36d)
(a+36d)^2 = (a+55d)(a+20d)
a^2+72ad+1296d^2 = a^2+75ad+1100d^2
3ad = 196d^2
3a = 196d
That is, for any value of n,
a=196n
d=3n
So, there is no unique solution.
If n=1, then a=196 and d=3. The terms are
196+20*3 = 256
196+36*3 = 304
196+55*3 = 361
304/256 = 361/304
You can easily verify that it works for any value of n.
It would be quantitive I believe
Ok, I'm going to start off saying there is probably an easier way of doing this that's right in front of my face, but I can't see it so I'm going to use Heron's formula, which is A=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where A is the area, s is the semiperimeter (half of the perimeter), and a, b, and c are the side lengths.
Substitute the known values into the formula:
x√10=√{[(x+x+1+2x-1)/2][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-x][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(x+1)][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(2x-1)]}
Simplify:
<span>x√10=√{[4x/2][(4x/2)-x][(4x/2)-(x+1)][(4x/2)-(2x-1)]}</span>
<span>x√10=√[2x(2x-x)(2x-x-1)(2x-2x+1)]</span>
<span>x√10=√[2x(x)(x-1)(1)]</span>
<span>x√10=√[2x²(x-1)]</span>
<span>x√10=√(2x³-2x²)</span>
<span>10x²=2x³-2x²</span>
<span>2x³-12x²=0</span>
<span>2x²(x-6)=0</span>
<span>2x²=0 or x-6=0</span>
<span>x=0 or x=6</span>
<span>Therefore, x=6 (you can't have a length of 0).</span>
Answer:
Slope of the regression line
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the regression line including the intercept shows the linear relationship between two variables, and can also therefore be utilized in estimating an average rate of change.
The slope of a regression line represents the rate of change in the dependent variable as the independent variable changes because y- the dependent variable is dependent on x- the independent variable.
