We have the function d, representing the distance from the ground of a person riding on a Ferris wheel:

d(t)=20\sin (\frac{\pi}{30}t)+10

If we consider the position of the person at t = 0, which is:

d(0)=20\sin (\frac{\pi}{30}\cdot0)+10=20\cdot0+10=10

This position, for t = 0, will be the same position as when the argument of the sine function is equal to 2π, which is equivalent to one cycle of the wheel. Then, we can find the value of t:

\begin{gathered} \sin (\frac{\pi}{30}t)=\sin (2\pi) \\ \frac{\pi}{30}\cdot t=2\pi \\ t=2\pi\cdot\frac{30}{\pi} \\ t=60 \end{gathered}

Then, the wheel will repeat its position after t = 60 seconds.

Answer: 60 seconds.

What are the coordinates of the point LaTeX: \frac{3}{4}\:3 4of the way from A to B? coordinate plane with line segment AB. Poin
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: \left(\dfrac{-7}{2},\dfrac{5}{4}\right).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Point A is at (-5, -4) and point B at (-3, 3).

We need to find the coordinates of the point which is 3/4 of the way from A to B.

Let the required point be P.

AP:AB=3:4

AP:PB=AP:(AB-AP)=3:(4-1)=3:1

It means, point P divides segment AB in 3:1.

Section formula:  If a point divides a line segment in m:n, then

\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

Using section formula, we get

P=\left(\dfrac{3(-3)+1(-5)}{3+1},\dfrac{3(3)+1(-4)}{3+1}\right)

P=\left(\dfrac{-9-5}{4},\dfrac{9-4}{4}\right)

P=\left(\dfrac{-14}{4},\dfrac{5}{4}\right)

P=\left(\dfrac{-7}{2},\dfrac{5}{4}\right)

Therefore, the required point is \left(\dfrac{-7}{2},\dfrac{5}{4}\right).
