Step-by-step explanation:

To prove it we just use the definition of similar matrices and properties of determinants:

If A,B are similar matrices, then there is an invertible matrix C, such that A=C^{-1}BC} (that's the definition of matrices being similar). And so we compute the determinant of such matrix to get:

det(A)=det(C^{-1}BC)=det(C^{-1})det(B)det(C)

=\frac{1}{det(C)}det(B)det(C)=det(B)

(Determinant of a product of matrices is the product of their determinants, and the determinant of C^{-1} is just \frac{1}{det(C)})

Review the table showing wind speed, y, in miles per hour, measured x hours after midnight.
hodyreva [135]

The trigonometric function that best models the data is determined as y = 1.87sin(–0.29x + 4.79) + 6.13.

<h3>Trigonometric function that models the data</h3>

The trigonometric function that best models the data is determined as follows;

y = 1.87sin(-0.29x + 4.79) + 6.13

Use the above equation to check if its gives you values in the table;

<h3>when x = 1</h3>

y = 1.87sin(-0.29 x 1  + 4.79) + 6.13

y = 1.87sin(4.5 rad) + 6.13

y = 4.3

<h3>when x = 2</h3>

y = 1.87sin(-0.29 x 2  + 4.79) + 6.13

y = 1.87sin(4.21 rad) + 6.13

y = 4.49

<h3>when x = 4</h3>

y = 1.87sin(-0.29 x 4  + 4.79) + 6.13

y = 1.87sin(3.63 rad) + 6.13

y = 5.2

<h3>when x = 7</h3>

y = 1.87sin(-0.29 x 7  + 4.79) + 6.13

y = 1.87sin(2.76 rad) + 6.13

y = 6.8

<h3>when x = 9</h3>

y = 1.87sin(-0.29 x 9  + 4.79) + 6.13

y = 1.87sin(2.18 rad) + 6.13

y =7.7

<h3>when x = 10</h3>

y = 1.87sin(-0.29 x 10  + 4.79) + 6.13

y = 1.87sin(1.89 rad) + 6.13

y = 7.9

<h3>when x = 13</h3>

y = 1.87sin(-0.29 x 13  + 4.79) + 6.13

y = 1.87sin(1.02 rad) + 6.13

y = 7.72

<h3>when x = 17</h3>

y = 1.87sin(-0.29 x 17  + 4.79) + 6.13

y = 1.87sin(-0.14 rad) + 6.13

y = 5.9

<h3>when x = 20</h3>

y = 1.87sin(-0.29 x 20  + 4.79) + 6.13

y = 1.87sin(-1.01 rad) + 6.13

y = 4.6

Thus, the trigonometric function that best models the data is determined as y = 1.87sin(–0.29x + 4.79) + 6.13.
