Answer:

y=2\text{cos}((\frac{2\pi}{3})t)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an object oscillates 4 feet from its minimum height to its maximum height. The object is back at the maximum height every 3 seconds. We are asked to find the cosine function that can be used to model the height of the object.

We know that standard form of cosine function is y = A\cdot \text{cos}(Bt-C)+D, where,

|A| = Amplitude,

Period = \frac{2\pi}{|B|},

C = Phase shift,

D = Vertical shift.

Since distance between maximum and minimum is 4, therefore, amplitude will be half of it, that is, A = 2.

Since objects gets back to its maximum value in every 3 seconds, therefore, period of the function is 3 seconds. We know that period is given by \frac{2\pi}{|B|}, therefore, we can write \frac{2\pi}{|B|}=3, therefore, B = \frac{2\pi}{3}.

We haven't been given any information about phase and mid-line, we can assume the values of C and D to be zero .

Therefore, our function required function would be y=2\text{cos}((\frac{2\pi}{3})t).

Write an equation to represent the situation: Last summer, Gary trained 14
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

A. g + (g + 14) = 82

Bonus: Gary trained 48 dogs. Triana trained 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Gary trained 14 MORE dogs, anything with a minus sign is definitely wrong. As a result, B & C are eliminated. D is also eliminated because that simplifies to 2g + 28 = 82, which signifies Gary trained 28 more dogs, which is not true. That leaves A as our answer.

g + g + 14 = 82

<em>Combine g & g to get 2g.</em>

2g + 14 = 82

<em>Subtract 14 from both sides.</em>

2g = 82 - 14

2g = 68

<em>Divide both sides by 2.</em>

g = 68/2

g = 34

With that, we now know Triana trained 34 dogs. Add 14 to that, and you get 48 dogs, which is how many Gary trained.
