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).

How do you solve this ???
galina1969 [7]
First you have to figure out how much a video game costs and how much a used one costs
Then you plug in the costs of the video games into Janets equation 120=3x+y
(x= video games and y=used video games)
Then you subtract the cost of video games  from 120 and then divide that answer by the cost of used video games and that should give you how many used video games she can get

What is the y-coordinate of point W?<br><br> PLS ASAP
sweet [91]
<h3>Answer:  -1.5</h3>

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

Explanation:

Draw a horizontal line from W to the y axis. You should arrive somewhere between -1 and -2. While this isn't exact, it looks like we should arrive right at the middle of -1 and -2; therefore we should get to -1.5

The y coordinate of W is -1.5

Keep in mind this is based on the assumption we reach the halfway point. Unfortunately, W is not on any horizontal grid lines to be able to determine exactly where W is along the y axis.

Answer:

Whole Numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Whole numbers is the only set of numbers in the following choices that don't include negative numbers (only positive integers and zero). Therefore, since -7 is negative, it doesn't belong to whole numbers!
