Answer: d. the radius of the Ferris wheel

Step-by-step explanation:

We now that the amplitude is the vertical distance between a peak or a valley and the equilibrium point.

Thus in the case of Ferris wheel the amplitude should be the difference between the peak(highest) and equilibrium point or equillibrium point and valley(lowest) points .

i.e. it should be half of the diameter of the circle. Since half of diameter of a circle is equals to radius.

Therefore, the amplitude of the function you use as a model should be equal to the radius of the Ferris wheel.

The amplitude of the function you use as a model should be equal to <span>d. the radius of the Ferris wheel. The amplitude should be half the difference between the highest (maximum) and lowest (minimum) points which is half of the diameter of the circle. It is known that half of the diameter is the radius of a circle.</span>

Solve for the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 9x² + 6x + 1.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=9x^2+6x+1\\\\\text{The zeros are for}\ f(x)=0\\\\9x^2+6x+1=0\\\\9x^2+3x+3x+1=0\\\\3x(3x+1)+1(3x+1)=0\\\\(3x+1)(3x+1)=0\\\\(3x+1)^2=0\iff3x+1=0\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\3x=-1\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x=-\dfrac{1}{3}

William bought some tickets to see his favorite singer. He bought some adult tickets and some children’s tickets, for a total of
Fantom [35]
Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.
