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

If x = 29 but y = x + x - 2x, how can x be represented algebraically through the context of polynomial division
ryzh [129]

Answer:

y will equal 29 + 29 - 2(29) which equals 0

when y = 0, the solution is the x-axis

hope this helps! <3

Look at the table below. Plot and label points M and N on the coordinate
marta [7]
M = (1,4)
N = (5,2)

For M, you simply move to 1 on the x axis abs for 4 you move on the y axis. Same does for N, for 5 you move on the x axis and for 2 you move on the y axis.
