Answer:

T(t) = 14.5 \cos(2\pi(t -\frac{206}{365} )) +63.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature peaks around july26 at 78°F, and has its minimum half year later at 49°F. Assuming a year is exactly 365 days, July 26 is 206/365 of a year after January 1.

Find the formula of the trigonometric function that models the daily low temperature T in Guangzhou t years after January 1, 2015. Define the function using radians

The function can be written as ...

T = A \cos(2\pi(t -\frac{206}{365} )) +B

where A is half the difference of the high and low temperature values, and B is the average of the high and low temperature values.

A =\frac{ (78-49)}{2}  \\\\=\frac{29}{2}  \\\\= 14.5

B = \frac{(78 +49) }{2} \\\\= \frac{127}{2}  \\\\= 63.5

The value 206/365 is the horizontal right shift of the peak of the function. That makes the peak occur on July 26, as required.

Filling in these values gives us the function ...

T(t) = 14.5 \cos(2\pi(t -\frac{206}{365} )) +63.5

1/3 divided by 8??????????
Serga [27]

Answer: 1/24

Step-by-step explanation: if you take 8 and change it to 1/8, you can multiply it by 1/3 and 1x1 is 1 and 8x3 is 24 so it’s 1 over 24 or 1/24

Write an equation of the hyperbola given that the center is at (2, -3), the vertices are at (2, 3) and (2, - 9), and the foci ar
zavuch27 [327]
Check the picture below.

so, the hyperbola looks like so, clearly a = 6 from the traverse axis, and the "c" distance from the center to a focus has to be from -3±c, as aforementioned above, the tell-tale is that part, therefore, we can see that c = 2√(10).

because the hyperbola opens vertically, the fraction with the positive sign will be the one with the "y" in it, like you see it in the picture, so without further adieu,

\bf \textit{hyperbolas, vertical traverse axis }
\\\\
\cfrac{(y- k)^2}{ a^2}-\cfrac{(x- h)^2}{ b^2}=1
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
center\ ( h, k)\\
vertices\ ( h,  k\pm a)\\
c=\textit{distance from}\\
\qquad \textit{center to foci}\\
\qquad \sqrt{ a ^2 + b ^2}\\
asymptotes\quad  y= k\pm \cfrac{a}{b}(x- h)
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \begin{cases}
h=2\\
k=-3\\
a=6\\
c=2\sqrt{10}
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{[y- (-3)]^2}{ 6^2}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1
\\\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies (2\sqrt{10})^2=6^2+b^2\implies 2^2(\sqrt{10})^2=36+b^2
\\\\\\
4(10)=36+b^2\implies 40=36+b^2\implies 4=b^2
\\\\\\
\sqrt{4}=b\implies 2=b\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 2^2}=1\implies \cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 4}=1

A rectangular field is 90 yards long and 60 yards wide.Give the length and width of another rectangular field that has the same
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The length and width of another rectangular field with same perimeter but a larger area is 80 m by 70 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the existing field is

2(l + b)

= 2(90 + 60) = 2(150) = 300 yards

So we want another field having the same perimeter but a larger area

The area we have here is 90 * 60 = 5,400 square yards

If we had 80 by 70

Perimeter will still be 2(70 + 80) = 150

But the area will be 80 * 70 = 5,600 square yards

You deposit $400 into an account that pays 2% annual interest compounded quarterly.
Ad libitum [116K]
Part A
The exponential model that describes the situation
The formula is
Y (x)=400 (1+0.02/4)^4x
Y (x)=400 (1+0.005)^4x
Y (x)=400 (1.005)^4x
Where x is the number of years

Part B
The value of the account after 5 years
Y (5)=400×(1.005)^(4×5)
Y (5)=441.96
