37.68 is the answer
Hope this helped! ^_^
You have to make a cos graph that starts its minimum and of -2, has an amplitude of 10, a period of 10 and a maximum of 18.
I decided to use a cos graph since cos graphs start at their minimum or maximum unlike a sine graph that starts halfway between the minimum and maximum. You also know the amplitude has to be 10 since 18+2=20 and 20/2=10. We were also told that the water wheel completels a rotation every 10 minutes which means the period is 10 minutes.
lets start of with a regular cos(x) graph. This starts on its maximum instead of minimum so we have to multiply it by -1 to get -cos(x) which does start on its minimum.
-cos(x) has an amplitude of 1 instead of 10, to fix that we multiply it by 10 to get -10cos(x) which has an amplitude of 10.
-10cos(x) has a period of 2π instead of 10, to fix this we multiply the x by 2π/10 to get -10cos((π/5)x) which now has a period of 10.
-10cos((π/5)x) has a minimum of -10 and maximum of 10 instead of a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18, to fix this we add 8 to -10cos((π/5)x) to get -10cos((π/5)x)+8 which does have a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18.
Therefore the answer is y=-10cos((π/5)x)+8. x being time in minutes and and y being the height in feet.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations
</u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is

Let's arrange into format:

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

Now for the second expression

Let's arrange into format

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been

128.34
= 128+ 0.34
= 128+ 34/100
= 128+ (34/2) / (100/2)
= 128+ 17/50
= 128 17/50
128.34 written as a mixed number is 128 17/50~
Answer:
D) x=
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic formula is : 
A in terms of this question=9
B in terms of the question is 12
C in terms of the question is -24.
This question is an example of a quadratic equation. To work this out you may first need a calculator. The first step is to substitute the values of a,b and c into the formula. So once substituted the formula of
becomes
. Although when written in a calculator there will not be a plus and minus button and so you would have to do this separately.
However when substituting the values it would be best practice to put them in brackets.
1) Substitute the values into the equation for +.

2) Substitute the values into the equation for -.
