Answer:

The first occurence of t for which x = 0 is t = 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The harmonic motion is described by the following equation.

x(t) = 3\cos{\pi t}

What is the first occurrence of a value of t for which x = 0?

This is t when x(t) = 0. So

x(t) = 3\cos{\pi t}

3\cos{\pi t} = 0

\cos{\pi t} = \frac{0}{3}

\cos{\pi t} = 0

The inverse of the cosine is the arcosine. So we apply the arcosine function to both sides of the equality.

\arccos{\cos{\pi t}} = \arccos{0}

\pi t = \frac{\pi}{2}

t = \frac{\pi}{2 \pi}

t = \frac{1}{2}

t = 0.5

The first occurence of t for which x = 0 is t = 0.5.

Find two numbers whose sum is 25 and the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6
Katen [24]

Answer:

10 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' and 'y' are the numbers we need to find.

x + y = 25 (two numbers whose sum is 25)

(1/x) + (1/y) = 1/6 (the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6)

The solutions of the this system of equations are the numbers we need to find.

x = 25 - y

1/(25 - y) + 1/y = 1/6 multiply both sides by 6(25-y)y

6y + 6(25-y) = (25-y)y

6y + 150 - 6y = 25y - (y^2)

y^2 - 25y + 150 = 0 quadratic equation has 2 solutions

y1 = 15

y2 = 10

Thus we have :

First solution: for y = 15, x = 25 - 15 = 10

Second solution: for y = 10, x = 25 - 10 = 15

The first and the second solution are in fact the same one solution we are looking for: the two numbers are 10 and 15 (since the combination 10 and 15 is the same as 15 and 10).

Reggie, Alvin, and Jose are member of a relay running team. Reggie finished his leg of the race 2.45 seconds faster than Alvin a
lorasvet [3.4K]
From the given, we expressed the time that each of the team members ran in mathematical expression.
 
                Reggie = 57.12 seconds
                 Alvin = 57.12 + 2.45 seconds = 59.57 seconds
                 Jose = 57.12 - 3.81 seconds = 53.31 seconds
We then sum up all the time we calculate to determine the total time for the team. The answer is therefore 170 seconds.
