<h3>Answer: 6pi radians</h3>

(this is equivalent to 1080 degrees)

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

Explanation:

f(x) = sin(x/3)

is the same as

f(x) = 1*sin( (1/3)(x-0) )+0

and that is in the form

f(x) = A*sin( B(x-C) )+D

The letters A,B,C,D are explained below

A = helps find the amplitude

B = 2pi/T, where T is the period

C = determines phase shift (aka left/right shifting)

D = determines vertical shift = midline

All we care about is the value of B as that is the only thing that is connected to the period T

--------

Compare f(x) = 1*sin( (1/3)(x-0) )+0 with f(x) = A*sin( B(x-C) )+D and we see that B = 1/3, so,

B = 2pi/T

1/3 = 2pi/T

1*T = 3*2pi ... cross multiply

T = 6pi

The period is 6pi radians. This is equivalent to 1080 degrees. To convert from radians to degrees, you multiply by (180/pi).

You own Everything's Coming Up Roses flower shop. Your employee makes 4 deliveries per hour. The distance between the shop and t

qaws [65]

We have 4 deliveries ( 12 1/3 , 8 3/4, 17 2/8 and 23 2/3 miles ) and also the final delivery : 10 5/10 miles = 10 1/2 miles.
We have to add up all the deliveries and to divide the result by 5:
( 12 1/3 + 8 3/4 + 17 1/4 + 23 2/3 + 10 1/2 ) : 5 =
= 72 1/2 : 5 = 72.5 : 5 = 14.5 = 14 1/2
Answer: The average distance for all segments of this trip is 14 1/2 miles.

A quadrilateral has vertices at $(0,1)$, $(3,4)$, $(4,3)$ and $(3,0)$. Its perimeter can be expressed in the form $a\sqrt2+b\sqr

seraphim [82]

Answer:

a + b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral;

Vertices of (0,1), (3,4) (4,3) and (3,0)

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

Required

$a + b$

Let the vertices be represented with A,B,C,D such as

A = (0,1); B = (3,4); C = (4,3) and D = (3,0)

To calculate the actual perimeter, we need to first calculate the distance between the points;

Such that:

AB represents distance between point A and B

BC represents distance between point B and C

CD represents distance between point C and D

DA represents distance between point D and A

Calculating AB

Here, we consider A = (0,1); B = (3,4);

Distance is calculated as;

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = A(0,1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = B(3,4)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(0 - 3)^2 + (1 - 4)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{( - 3)^2 + (-3)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9+ 9}$

$AB = \sqrt{18}$

$AB = \sqrt{9*2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2}$

$AB = 3\sqrt{2}$

Calculating BC

Here, we consider B = (3,4); C = (4,3)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = B (3,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = C(4,3)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(3 - 4)^2 + (4 - 3)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (1)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{1 + 1}$

$BC = \sqrt{2}$

Calculating CD

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = C(4,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = D (3,0)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (3 - 0)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (3)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{1 + 9}$

$CD = \sqrt{10}$

Lastly;

Calculating DA

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = D (3,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = A (0,1)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (0 - 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (- 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{9 + 1}$

$DA = \sqrt{10}$

The addition of the values of distances AB, BC, CD and DA gives the perimeter of the quadrilateral

$Perimeter = 3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{10}$

$Perimeter = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

Recall that

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

This implies that

$a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10} = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

By comparison

$a\sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{2}$

$a = 4$

By comparison

$b\sqrt{10} = 2\sqrt{10}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{10}$

$b = 2$

Hence,

a + b = 2 + 10

a + b = 12

Your lunch account has $23 and you spend $2.20 each day on your lunch write an equation for the line

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Assuming you mean until the lunch money balance runs out,

$2.20x = $23

Step-by-step explanation:

You spend $2.20 every day. If you are trying to find how many days until the lunch balance runs out, you need to put in X as your variable.

The last step is to set it equal to $23 dollars to be able to factor out the answer.

Hope this Helped!

If one-half of a number decreased by 20 is 40, what is the number?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Just add the 20 back to 40 and times by 2

40 + 20 = 60

60 * 2 = 120
