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.

Use the square root property to solve x^2-9=0<br> Please help and please show work if you can
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

x = 3 or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have the equation x² - 9 = 0

Move the 9 to the other side: x² = 9

Then take the square root of both sides: \sqrt{x^{2} } = ±\sqrt{9}

x = ±\sqrt{9} = ±3

x = 3 or -3

Bess [88]
Have the unknown amount = x 
so 3x : 9x
 you know how many kids meals were bought is equal to the ratio (3x = 12, so x=4)
you already know how many X's for the adults (9) so just multiply (9x4= 36)
lastly add since you need to find the total meals bought (36+12= 48)
