We have a sinusoidal function.

y=A\cdot\sin (b\cdot x+c)+d

Its midline is intersected at (0,-3) and has a maximum point at (2,-1.5).

As the midline intersects at y=-3, we know that function has an offset of 3 units down.

This offset is the value of the parameter d, so we have:

y=A\cdot\sin (b\cdot x+c)-3

The maximum value happens at point (2,-1.5). The maximum value happens when the pure sin function reaches the value 1, so we can write:

\begin{gathered} y_{\max }=A\cdot1-3=-1.5 \\ A-3=-1.5 \\ A=-1.5+3 \\ A=1.5 \end{gathered}

The amplitude is A=1.5, so we can write:

y=1.5\sin (b\cdot x+c)-3

We can find the values of the parameters b and c using the x-values of the the points (0,-3) and (2,-1.5):

\begin{gathered} (x,y)=(0,-3) \\ y(0)=1.5\sin (b\cdot0+c)-3=-3 \\ 1.5\cdot\sin (c)=-3+3 \\ 1.5\cdot\sin (c)=0 \\ \sin (c)=0 \\ c=0 \end{gathered}

\begin{gathered} (x,y)=(2,-1.5) \\ y(2)=1.5\cdot\sin (b\cdot2)-3=-1.5 \\ 1.5\cdot\sin (2b)=-1.5+3 \\ 1.5\cdot\sin (2b)=1.5 \\ \sin (2b)=1 \\ 2b=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ b=\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2} \\ b=\frac{\pi}{4} \end{gathered}

The function becomes:

y(x)=1.5\sin (\frac{\pi}{4}x)-3

The graph of the function is:

Answer: y(x) = 1.5*sin(pi/4 * x)-3

Elevation is a measure of height in relation to sea level. The highest feature on Earth is Mount Everest with an elevation +29,0
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Sea\ Level = 0\ ft

The farthest point is the Challenger Deep

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Highest = +29029ft

Least = -35,797ft

Solving (a): The sea level

Both elevations had signs in front of them.

The sea level is the point at the neutral level, neither positive nor negative.

Hence:

Sea\ Level = 0\ ft

Solving (b): Farthest Point.

The farthest point is the one with the highest magnitude.

Comparing

Highest = +29029ft  to   Least = -35,797ft

-35,797 ft has the highest magnitude.

Hence:

<em>The farthest point is the Challenger Deep</em>

A tetrahedron is a triangular pyramid with 4 equilateral faces. Han has a box of tetrahedrons with each of the 4 vertices marked
Daniel [21]

Theoretically, the number of the vertex comes at the top must be equal for infinitely many numbers of trials, but it's a tedious job to roll the dice for a large number of times. Rolling the tetrahedron only 10 times will not predict the correct result.

Han suspects that this tetrahedron is weighted in some way to make 1 appear more often than the other numbers.

So, check his suspect experimentally with the help of the concept of center of mass. A fair tetrahedron must have the center of mass at the center of the body.

The given tetrahedron has 4 equilateral triangular faces, so at first, measure all the sides of triangular faces and make sure that all are having the same length.

Then, conduct an experiment to check the location of the center of mass.

Hang the tetrahedron by attaching a thin string at the vertex 1 as shown in the figure and observe the base surface ( triangle 234) whether it is parallel to the ground or not.

Now, repeat the same by hanging it with vertices 2, 3, and 4 and observe the base surface.

For the center of mass to be located at the center of the tetrahedron, the base must be parallel to the ground (flat ground).i.e the hanging string must be perpendicular to the base for all the four cases.

If this is so, then the tetrahedron is a fair tetrahedron otherwise not.

Help find the surface area of a cylinder with the height of 9 inches and base radius of 4
dybincka [34]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  104π in² ≈ 326.7 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given numbers in the surface area formula for a cylinder.

  SA = 2πr(r +h)

  SA = 2π(4 in)(4 in +9 in) = 104π in² ≈ 326.7 in²
