One triangle on a graph has a vertical side of 5 and a horizontal side of 11. Another triangle on a graph has a vertical side of

15 and a horizontal side of 33.
Could the hypotenuses of these two triangles lie along the same line?

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are <em>similar</em> because they have:

  • a common angle (90°)
  • corresponding sides with lengths in a 3:1 ratio

All you need to do is to slide the smaller triangle into the larger one so that a small angle and one of its sides coincide.

Then the hypotenuses of each triangle will lie along the same line.

A. Find the amplitude.
Feliz [49]

Answers:

  • a) Amplitude = 2
  • b) Period = pi
  • c) Vertical shift = -2, which means it has been shifted down 2 units.
  • d) Horizontal shift = 3pi/8, this shifting is to the right.
  • e) There is <u>  one  </u> cycle between 0 and 2pi.
  • f) The equation of the graph is y = 2*sin(2(x-3pi/8))-2

========================================================

Explanations:

Part (a)

The highest point is when y = 0 and the lowest point is when y = -4. The vertical distance between the peak and valley is 4 units, which cuts in half to 2. This is the amplitude. It's the vertical distance from the center to either the peak or valley.

Note: Amplitude is always positive as it measures a distance.

---------------------

Part (b)

For x > 0, the first valley or lowest point occurs between 0 and pi/4. It appears to be the midpoint of the two values. So that would be (0+pi/4)/2 = pi/8.

The next valley occurs between pi and 5pi/4. Compute the midpoint to get (pi+5pi/4)/2 = (4pi/4+5pi/4)/2 = (9pi/4)/2 = 9pi/8

So we have the graph go from one valley x = pi/8 to the next valley over x = 9pi/8. This is a distance of pi units because 9pi/8-pi/8 = 8pi/8 = pi

The graph repeats itself every pi units, so the period is pi.

---------------------

Part (c)

The midline is normally through y = 0, aka the x axis. However, the graph shows the midline is through y = -2. This means the graph has been shifted down 2 units.

---------------------

Part (d)

This will depend on whether you use sine or cosine. This is entirely because cosine is a phase-shifted version of sine, and vice versa. I'll go with sine.

The parent sine function y = sin(x) goes through the origin (0,0)

However, as part (c) mentioned, we shifted the graph 2 units down. So we have y = sin(x)-2. But plugging x = 0 into this leads to the point (0,-2)

This doesn't match what the graph says. The graph shows the point (3pi/8, -2) on the red curve. The x coordinate 3pi/8 is the midpoint of pi/4 and pi/2

This must mean we need to shift the sine graph 3pi/8 units to the right.

---------------------

Part (e)

Start at the lowest point when x = pi/8. If you start the cycle here, then it ends when x = 9pi/8. See part (b).

So far we've completed one cycle. If we start at x = 9pi/8, then the next valley or lowest point is slightly beyond or to the right of x = 2pi. This means we run out of room and we haven't completed a full cycle.

Overall, one full cycle is between 0 and 2pi.

---------------------

Part (f)

Again I'm going to use sine instead of cosine. Refer back to part (d).

The general sine curve equation is

y = A*sin(B(x-C))+D

where

  • |A| = amplitude
  • B handles the period, specifically T = 2pi/B where T is the period. We can solve for B to get B = 2pi/T
  • C = horizontal phase shift
  • D = vertical shift, and ties together with the midline equation

In this case, we found that

  • |A| = 2
  • T = pi leads to B = 2pi/T = 2pi/pi = 2
  • C = 3pi/8
  • D = -2

So,

y = A*sin(B(x-C))+D

will update to

y = 2*sin(2(x-3pi/8))-2

which is one way to express the equation of the red curve. Optionally you can distribute the 2 through to (x-3pi/8).

What is the set fee, or initial value, of this function
Ber [7]
Answer:
The set fee would be $15

Explanation:
The set fee is the starting value. This means that it is the value of the y at x = 0 (y-intercept).

To get the set fee, we would first need to get the equation of the line.

Equation of the linear line has the following general formula:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

1- getting the slope:
we are given two points which are:
(20,25) and (50,40)
the slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=  \frac{40-25}{50-20} = 0.5

The equation now is:
y = 0.5x + c

2- getting the value of the y-intercept:
To get the value of the c, we will use any of the given points, substitute in the equation and solve for c.
I will choose the point (20,25)
y = 0.5x + c
25 = 0.5(20) + c
25 = 10 + c
c = 15

The equation of the line representing the scenario is:
y = 0.5x + 15

Now, we know that the value of the c is the y-intercept which is the initial value of the function at x=0.
In our situation, this represents the set fee.

Hope this helps :)

Dan spends 2 5 of his wages on rent and 1 2 on food. If he makes ?430 per week, how much money does he have left?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Dan would be left over with $43 a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{5} = 40%

\frac{1}{2} = 50%

Rent: $430 - 40% = $172

Food: $430 - 50% = $215

$215 + $172 = $387

$430 - $387 = $43
