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).

An economy package of cups has 460 green cups. If the green cups are 20% of the total package, how many cups are in the package?

2300 cups because if 460 is 20%, multiply the 460 x 5 to get 100%

Find the 5th term of the sequence in which T1=8 and Tn=3t n-1
yan [13]
T_n = 3 * T_(n-1)

Long way (always works!)
T_5 = 3*T_4,
T_4 = 3*T_3
T_3 = 3*T_2
T_2 = 3*T_1

T_5 = 3*3*3*3*T_1 = 81*T_1 = 81*8 = 648!

Short way (sometimes it works!)

T_n = 3^(n-1) * T_1 (this case is a geometric series of ratio-=3)
T_5 = 3^4*8 = 648

A sample of students is taken from the school's A honor roll. The school estimates that there are actually 360 students on the A
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Number of 8th Graders = 360 - X

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see this question is not complete and lacks the essential data. But we will try to create a mathematical expression to calculate the number of students on the A honor roll which are from 8th grade.

As we know:

Total number of students on the A honor roll = 360

We are asked to calculate, number of students from 8th grade on the A honor  roll.

So, let's assume that "X" represents the all the students who are on the A honor roll except 8th grade.

Mathematical Expression:

Number of 8th Graders = Total number of students on the A honor roll - X

Number of 8th Graders = 360 - X

So, if you know the value of X, you can easily calculate the number of students which are from 8th grade on the A honor roll.
