One company estimates same-day delivery as more than three less than half the total number of miles. Which graph represents the
1 answer:
By using an online graphing calculator, the overall equation represented by this scenario is plotted in the image attached below.
<h3>How to determine the graph?</h3>Based on the information provided about this company with respect to its delivery and total number of miles to be covered, we would assign variables as follows:
- Let y represent same-day delivery.
- Let x be the total number of miles.
Next, we would translate the word problem into an algebraic equation by using an inequality:
y > x/2 - 3
Also, we would determine the intercepts as follows:
When x = 0, we have;
y = 0/2 - 3
y = -3.
y-intercept = (0, -3).
For the x-intercept, we have:
When y = 0, we have;
0 = x/2 - 3
x/2 = 3
x = 6.
x-intercept = (6, 0).

The height of the <em>water</em> depth is h = 14 + 6 · sin (π · t/6 + π/2), where t is in hours, and the height of the Ferris wheel is h = 21 + 19 · sin (π · t/20 - π/2), where t is in seconds. Please see the image to see the figures.
<h3>How to derive equations for periodical changes in time</h3>
According to the two cases described in the statement, we have clear example of <em>sinusoidal</em> model for the height as a function of time. In this case, we can make use of the following equation:
h = a + A · sin (2π · t/T + B) (1)
Where:
- a - Initial position, in meters.
- A - Amplitude, in meters.
- t - Time, in hours or seconds.
- T - Period, in hours or seconds.
- B - Phase, in radians.
Now we proceed to derive the equations for each case:
Water depth (u = 20 m, l = 8 m, a = 14 m, T = 12 h):
A = (20 m - 8 m)/2
A = 6 m
a = 14 m
Phase
20 = 14 + 6 · sin B
6 = 6 · sin B
sin B = 1
B = π/2
h = 14 + 6 · sin (π · t/6 + π/2), where t is in hours.
Ferris wheel (u = 40 m, l = 2 m, a = 21 m, T = 40 s):
A = (40 m - 2 m)/2
A = 19 m
a = 21 m
Phase
2 = 21 + 19 · sin B
- 19 = 19 · sin B
sin B = - 1
B = - π/2
h = 21 + 19 · sin (π · t/20 - π/2), where t is in seconds.
Lastly, we proceed to graph each case in the figures attached below.
