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).

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

This coordinate is a three dimensional coordinate, which involves positive and negative x,y, and z axis.

The y axis is from left to right, i.e from negative to positive.

So 6 unit left is = -6 but it explains moving left .

Answer:

it's answer is C. 12/10 = 4 / x

Step-by-step explanation:

As the triangles are similar so
