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.
Answer: 34.64 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A boat is 60 m from the base of a lighthouse.
The angle of depression between the lighthouse and the boat is 37°.
By using trigonometric ratios :
here x= 37°, side opposite to x = height of lighthouse (h) , side adjacent to x = 60 m
Hence, the lighthouse is 34.64 m tall.
Answer:
The length is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
4x²+3x-10
= 4x² + 8x -5x - 10
= 4x (x+2) -5(x+2)
= (4x-5) (x+2)
Option C
At first glance, it might be tempting to say this is a linear function, because we see linear terms (3x and –6x); however, these are multiplied together, so it's actually a quadratic.
We need to expand the function (hint: use FOIL) to identify the terms.
The x^2-term, or quadratic term, is
. The x-term, or linear term, is
. The number term, or constant term, is –20.
