Using a linear function, it is found that it will take 13 hours for the candle to burn down to a height of .25 inches.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Considering the situation described, the y-intercept is of 10 while the slope is of -0.75, hence the height of the candle after t hours is given by:

h(t) = 10 - 0.75t

The height will be of 0.25 inches when h(t) = 0.25, hence:

0.25 = 10 - 0.75t

0.75t = 9.75

t = 9.75/0.75

t = 13 hours.

I cant solve this can i get some help? <br> 2 cos x + √ 2 = 0
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 cos x + √ 2 = 0

2 cos x = -√ 2

cos x = -√ 2  / 2

x = arcCos(  -√ 2  / 2 )

so to solve we have to use  "co-terminal " angles .. do you know what I'm saying?  do you understand the words coming out of my mouth :DDDDD OKay back to math and not movie lines .. :P

x = arcCos(  √ 2  / 2 )

x = 45 °

now find the "co terminal" angle that is on 45 ° but in the correct quadrant... since the  -√ 2   is negative.. we now that we go down the y axis.. but also positive on the x axis.. soooo.. that put the angle in the 4th quadrant... so this is an angle of 315° if we go in the CCW  ( counter clock wise )  direction but it's also -45°  in the CW  (clock wise )  direction

below is the table to remember the trig special angles

notice how it's  1,2,3,4    .. so it's super easy to remember.. the trig books don't show you this "trick"   :P

copy and paste this to your computer some where handy

Sin(0) = 0/2      =0  

Sin(30)= \sqrt{1}/2   = 1/2  

Sing(45) =\sqrt{2}/2 =\sqrt{2}/2  

Sin(60)=\sqrt{3}/2   = \sqrt{3}/2  

Sin(90)=\sqrt{4}/2   = 1  

Cos is exactly the same but counts backwards from 90°

Cos(90) = 0/2       = 0

Cos(60) = \sqrt{1} /2   = 1/2

Cos(45) = \sqrt{2}/2    =\sqrt{2}/2

Cos(30) = \sqrt{3}/2   =\sqrt{3}/2

Cos(0) = \sqrt{4}/2    = 1

Tangent Line h(t) = sec t / t @ (Pi, 1/pi)
Alex Ar [27]
Take derivitive

note
the derivitive of sec(x)=sec(x)tan(x)
so
remember the quotient rule
the derivitive of \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \frac{f'(x)g(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{(g(x))^2}
so

the derivitive of \frac{sec(t)}{t} = \frac{sec(t)tan(t)t-(1)(sec(t))}{t^2}
so now evaluate when t=pi
we get
sec(pi)=-1
tan(pi)=0
we get
\frac{(-1)(0)(pi)-(pi)(-1)}{pi^2}= \frac{pi}{pi^2}= \frac{1}{pi}
slope=1/pi

use slope point form
for
slope=m and point is (x1,y1)
equation is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
slope is 1/pi
point is (pi,1/pi)

y-1/π=1/π(x-π)
times both sides by π
πy-1=x-π
πy=x-π+1
y=(1/π)x-1+(1/π)
or, alternately
-(1/π)x+y=(1/π)-1
x-πy=π-1
