Reid gets on a Ferris Wheel from a platform 3 feet above the ground (which is the low point of the rotation). The diameter of th

e Ferris Wheel is 20 feet, and one revolution takes 24 seconds. Write a function for Reid's height, in feet, in terms of his time, in seconds. a) Use your answer from problem 28 to determine Reid's height after 1 minute. b)Use your answer from problem 28 to determine when Reid's height will first reach 18 feet.

This corresponds to a sinusoidal graph, we have:

Radius= 20 feet, that corresponds to the amplitud (A)

One revolution takes 24 seconds, that corresponds to the period

Min= 3 feet

k=360/24=15

D= bottom distance+ amplitud=3+20=23 feet

\begin{gathered} \text{The movement is represented by the expression:} \\ y=A\cos (kx)+D \end{gathered}

Then, let x be the time, in seconds:

y=20\cos (15x)+23

a) To determine Reid's height after 1 minute= 60 seconds, substitute x=60

\begin{gathered} y=20\cos (15\cdot60)+23 \\ y=9\text{ f}eet \end{gathered}

b) To determine when Reid's height will first reach 18 feet, we have to substitute y=18 feet, and isolate x:

\begin{gathered} 18=20\cos (15x)+23 \\ 18-23=20\cos (15x) \\ -5=20\cos (15x) \\ -\frac{5}{20}=\cos (15x) \\ -\frac{1}{4}=\cos (15x) \\ By\text{ trigonometric properties:} \\ 15x=\cos ^{-1}(-\frac{1}{4})+2\pi n \\ x=\frac{\cos^{-1}(-\frac{1}{4})}{15}+\frac{2\pi n}{15} \end{gathered}

Iteru [2.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : m∥n , ∠1= 50° , ∠2= 48° , and line s bisects ∠ABC

To prove = ∠3= 49°

Solution:

In figure, m∥n cut by traversal t.

So,  ∠DEF = ∠ABC(alternative exterior angles)

∠1 + ∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5

∠ABC = ∠1 + ∠2 = 50° + 48° = 98°

Also given that s bisect angles ∠ABC.

∠4 = ∠5

∠ABC = ∠4 + ∠5 = 98°

∠4 + ∠4 = 98°

2∠4 = 98°

∠4 = 49°

∠4= ∠3 = 49° (vertically opposite angles)

∠3 = 49° ,hence proved

The variables y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 15 when x = 3. What is the value of x when y = 4?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

x=\frac{4}{5}=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the variables y and x have a proportional relationship, therefore, we can represent the relationship between x and y as: y=kx, where k is proportionality constant.

Let us substitute x=3 and y=15 in above equation to find the value of k.

15=k*3

k=\frac{15}{3}

k=5

Now let us substitute k=5 and y=4 in our proportionality equation to find the corresponding value of x.

4=5x

x=\frac{4}{5}

x=0.8

Therefore, the value of x will be 0.8, when y equals to 4.

a local middle school has 99 computers and 333 students . What is the number of students per computer ?
Elza [17]
It would be a decimal which is 3.363636363636364 and if you convert it into a fraction it is 9090909091/25000000000 so in real terms it is 3 students per computer.
