If you were to graph the sine and cosine functions on the same set of axes, you'd see that they are 90 degrees, or pi/2 radians, out of sync with one another.  cos 0 is 1, whereas sin 0 is 0; sin x does not reach the value 1 until your angle reaches 90 degrees, or pi/2 radians.

Please do some experimentation here.  You want to express sin (300t) as a cosine, that is, as cos (300t + [some angle]), where [some angle] is called a "phase shift."

Start with the basic y=sin x.  Its graph is usually begun at (0,0).  Try simplifying and graphing cos (x-pi/2).  Does this produce the same y=sin x, with the same graph?  Do you remember that 
  cos (x-pi/2) = cos x cos pi/2 + sin x sin pi/2?
It happens that cos pi/2 = 0 and that sin pi/2 = 1.  Thus,
  cos (x-pi/2) = sin x (1) = sin x.  So, we have succeeded in obtaining sin x from cos (x-pi/2).

Now, what about obtaining sin 300t from the cosine function?

First:  recognize that the standard form of the cosine function with a phase shift is     y = a cos (bx + c).  What is the period?

Answer:  The period is always 2pi/b.  So, in the case, the period is 2pi/300, or pi/150.

What is the phase shift?
Answer:  the period is always -c/b.  So, in this case, the period is -c/b, or 
-pi/2 over 300.  This simplifies to -pi/150.

Try this:  Simplify cos (300t -pi/150)  If the end result is sin 300t, you'll know you have this right.  If the end result is not sin 300t, experiment with that phase shift.

Start with the Pythagorean theorem{A²+B²=C², A and B are the sides and C is the Hypotenuse/Longest Side.}
2²+4²=C²
4+16=C²
20=C².....{now square root both sides.√}
√20=√C²
4.472= C

Find the gradient of the line segement between the points (0,-6) and (2,-16)
yulyashka [42]

answer = 5

Slope, sometimes referred to as gradient in mathematics, is a number that measures the steepness and direction of a line, or a section of a line connecting two points, and is usually denoted by m. Generally, a line's steepness is measured by the absolute value of its slope, m. The larger the value is, the steeper the line. Given m, it is possible to determine the direction of the line that m describes based on its sign and value:

A line is increasing, and goes upwards from left to right when m > 0

A line is decreasing, and goes downwards from left to right when m < 0

A line has a constant slope, and is horizontal when m = 0

A vertical line has an undefined slope, since it would result in a fraction with 0 as the denominator. Refer to the equation provided below.

Slope is essentially change in height over change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as "rise over run." It has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads. In the case of a road the "rise" is the change in altitude, while the "run" is the difference in distance between two fixed points, as long as the distance for the measurement is not large enough that the earth's curvature should be considered as a factor. The slope is represented mathematically as:

m =

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

Una persona pensó hacer una obra en 15 días; pero tardó 10
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

<em>Trabajó 3 horas al día</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proporcionalidad</u>

Una persona planeó terminar la obra en 15 dias, pero tardó 10 dias adicionales porque trabajó 2 horas menos por día.

Usaremos proporciones para calcular las horas de trabajo diarias.

Si 2 horas diarias representan 10 dias de atraso, entonces cada hora representa 5 dias de trabajo.

Si la obra tardaba 15 dias, entonces la persona trabajó 15/5 = 3 horas diarias.

What is the solution to the system of equations? x=4y 6 x-3y=4
ahrayia [7]
If you graph the two equations then you will find that they intersect at (-2,-2).

You then have to check your answer.

x=4y+6
(-2)=4(-2)+6
-2=-8+6
-2=-2

x-3y=4
(-2)-3(-2)=4
-2+6=4
4=4
