The daily low temperature in guangzhou, China, varies over time in a periodic way that can be modeled by a trigonometric functio

n.
The period of change is exactly 1 year. 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.

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

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>According to given table we have pairs of points:</u>

  • (4, 6.00), (5, 8.25), (6, 10.50)

<u>The rate of change is:</u>

  • (8.25 - 6.00)/(5 - 4) = 2.25

or

  • (10.50 - 8.25)/(6 - 5) = 2.25

<u>It is 2.25 and the meaning is:</u>

  • Rental per day is $2.25

Leya [2.2K]

 all the coordinates of the original triangle have been multiplied by 1/2

A (-4,-6) x 1/2 = -2,-3

B (-8,2) * 1/2 = -4,1

C (-2,4)  *1/2 = -1,2

 so the scale factor is 1/2

 Answer is B

Solve the following for the x and y values. X being 0 when solving for Y, and vice versa.
Aleonysh [2.5K]
It states your "X" will be zero when solving for "Y". So when solving for "Y" your equation would be; 0+y=4 Then you solve. Y=4 Then you do the same with the "X": X+0=4. Then you solve. X=4 It would end up being (4(x),4(y) ) Then do the same for the next problem.

Which of the following equations describes the graph?​
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

y = -2(x - .5)^2 - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You first want to find the vertex of the parabola, which is found at (.5, -2.5)

You then want to add this to the function "y = x"

y = (x - .5) - 2.5

You would then notice this would need to be a quadratic formula, so you would add the squared to the equation, and make the leading coefficient negative because it is facing downwards.

y = -(x - .5)^2 - 2.5

Finally, you would notice that the graph has a y-intercept of -3. You can Vertically stretch the equation y a factor of 2 to finish the graph.

y = -2(x - .5)^2 - 2.5
