Gregory draws a scale drawing of his room. The scale that he uses is 1cm: 4ft. On this drawing, the room is 3cm long. Which equa

tion can be used to find the actual length of Gregory's room?
A. 1/4 = x/3 C. 1/4 = 3/x

B. x/4 = 1/3 D. 1/x = 4/3

Rob chose A as the correct answer. What did he do wrong?

<em><u>The equation can be used to find the actual length of Gregory's room is:</u></em>

$\frac{1\ cm}{4\ feet } = \frac{3\ cm }{x\ feet }$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

The scale that he uses is:

1 cm : 4 feet

On this drawing, the room is 3 cm long

Let "x" be the actual length of room

Therefore,

1 cm : 4 feet

3 cm : "x" feet

This forms a proportion. Therefore,

$\frac{1\ cm}{4\ feet } = \frac{3\ cm }{x\ feet }$

Therefore, Option C is correct

Given that,

Rob chose A as the correct answer. Which is,

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{x}{3}$

But option A is wrong

So, Rob made a mistake in measuring the equivalent ratio, it should be $\frac{1\ cm}{4\ feet } = \frac{3\ cm }{x\ feet }$

How to know if a function is periodic without graphing it ?

zhenek [66]

A function $f(t)$ is periodic if there is some constant $k$ such that $f(t+k)=f(k)$ for all $t$ in the domain of $f(t)$ . Then $k$ is the "period" of $f(t)$ .

Example:

If $f(x)=\sin x$ , then we have $\sin(x+2\pi)=\sin x\cos2\pi+\cos x\sin2\pi=\sin x$ , and so $\sin x$ is periodic with period $2\pi$ .

It gets a bit more complicated for a function like yours. We're looking for $k$ such that

$\pi\sin\left(\dfrac\pi2(t+k)\right)+1.8\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}5(t+k)\right)=\pi\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2+1.8\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5$

Expanding on the left, you have

$\pi\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2\cos\dfrac{k\pi}2+\pi\cos\dfrac{\pi t}2\sin\dfrac{k\pi}2$

and

$1.8\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5\cos\dfrac{7k\pi}5-1.8\sin\dfrac{7\pi t}5\sin\dfrac{7k\pi}5$

It follows that the following must be satisfied:

$\begin{cases}\cos\dfrac{k\pi}2=1\\\\\sin\dfrac{k\pi}2=0\\\\\cos\dfrac{7k\pi}5=1\\\\\sin\dfrac{7k\pi}5=0\end{cases}$

The first two equations are satisfied whenever $k\in\{0,\pm4,\pm8,\ldots\}$ , or more generally, when $k=4n$ and $n\in\mathbb Z$ (i.e. any multiple of 4).

The second two are satisfied whenever $k\in\left\{0,\pm\dfrac{10}7,\pm\dfrac{20}7,\ldots\right\}$ , and more generally when $k=\dfrac{10n}7$ with $n\in\mathbb Z$ (any multiple of 10/7).

It then follows that all four equations will be satisfied whenever the two sets above intersect. This happens when $k$ is any common multiple of 4 and 10/7. The least positive one would be 20, which means the period for your function is 20.

Let's verify:

$\sin\left(\dfrac\pi2(t+20)\right)=\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2\underbrace{\cos10\pi}_1+\cos\dfrac{\pi t}2\underbrace{\sin10\pi}_0=\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2$

$\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}5(t+20)\right)=\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5\underbrace{\cos28\pi}_1-\sin\dfrac{7\pi t}5\underbrace{\sin28\pi}_0=\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5$

More generally, it can be shown that

$f(t)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n(a_i\sin(b_it)+c_i\cos(d_it))$

is periodic with period $\mbox{lcm}(b_1,\ldots,b_n,d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ .

Which of the following inequalities is graphed on the coordinate plane

azamat

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, all the equations are the same except for the symbol so you don't need to figure out the equation of the line.

Anyways, note that the line is dotted, which means it cannot be A nor B since they have an "equal to."

Also, note that the shaded region is above the graph. Since it is above, it means that y is greater than whatever x is.

Thus, the answer is D.
