For a short time after a wave is created by wind, the height of the wave can be modeled using y = a sin 2πt/T, where a is the am

plitude and T is the period of the wave in seconds.
How many times over the first 5 seconds does the graph predict the wave to be 2 feet high?

The graph hits \fbox{\begin\\\ \dfrac{10}{T}+2\\\end{minispace}} times over 2 feet for a>2.

Further explanation:  

The height of the wave is given by the equation as follows:  

y=asin\left(\dfrac{2\pi t}{T}\right)                          ......(1)

Here, a is amplitude, T is period of wave in second and t time in seconds.  

The height y of the wave is given as 2 feet and time t is given as 5 seconds.  

Substitute 2 for y and 5 for t in equation (1).  

2=asin\left(\dfrac{2\pi \times5}{T}\right)\\2=asin\left(\dfrac{10\pi}{T}\right)\\\dfrac{2}{a}=sin\left(\dfrac{10\pi}{T}\right)

The above eqution is valid only for a\geq 2 because the maximum value of the term sin(10\pi /T) is 1.  

If T is the time period then in T seconds the graph will hit at least 2 times over 2 feet for a>2.

T seconds\rightarrow2 hits

1 seconds \rightarrow \dfrac{2}{T} hits

5 seconds \rightarrow\dfrac{2\times5}{T}

5 seconds \rightarrow \dfrac{10}{T}

If T is time period in 5 seconds then the graph will hit [10/T] times in interval 0 to 2\pi.

Thus, the graph hits \fbox{\begin\\\ \dfrac{10}{T}+2\\\end{minispace}} times over 2 feet for a>2.

How could you change the equation from 5x+2=5x+5 so it has infinitely many solutions?
Ganezh [65]

I'm working on the same thing right now and I'm using every resource in my hands right now to find a solution. I will edit this post when I have more. If you need any more help I have completed the previous activity and most of this one.

EDIT:

Ok so I checked with somebody who is pretty good with math and they said that 5x=5x would be right. Not too sure but that's what I'm putting.

I put EVERYTHING for this assignment in comments down below. Geez all of this for 5 freakin points.

At a dinner, the meal cost $32 and a sales tax of $1.87 was added to the bill. How much would the sales tax be on a $64 meal?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

3.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 64 is x2 the number 32, and the tax for that is 1.87 you times that times 2 so:

1.87x2=3.74
