Substitute x for "a number". This is a verbal equation, so it will look like this:
3x+4x+1=6x. Then solve for x.

1) State the amplitude, period, phase shift, vertical shift and graph

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

See answers and explanations below (along with a visual graph)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the function $y=acos(b(x+c))+d$ :

Amplitude: $|a|$

Period: $\frac{2\pi}{|b|}$

Phase shift: $\frac{-c}{b}$

Vertical shift: $d$

Therefore, for $y=2cos(\frac{2}{3}(\theta+\pi))-1$ :

Amplitude: $|a|=|2|=2$ , which is 2 units above and below the midline (see d)

Period: $\frac{2\pi}{|b|}=\frac{2\pi}{|\frac{2}{3}|}=\frac{2\pi}{\frac{2}{3}}=3\pi$ , so the cycle will repeat every 3π units

Phase shift: $\frac{-c}{b}=\frac{-\frac{2\pi}{3} }{\frac{2}{3} }=-\pi$ , or π units to the left

Vertical shift: $d=-1$ , or 1 unit down

If a 25 ft rope is cut into two sections with one section 4 times as long as the other section, how long is the shorter piece?

DaniilM [7]

X = short section of rope
4x = longer section of rope

x + 4x = 25
5x = 25
x = 5

…or in other words the shorter piece of rope is 5 feet long

Line s has an equation of y=1/3-X-5. Line t is perpendicular to line s and passes through (-2, 9). What is the equation of line

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

y = 3x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the reciprocal of the slope and change signs: -3

2. y = 3x + b

3. Plug in x and y --> b = 15

4. Make your equation using y = mx + b: y = 3x + 15

What is 3 1/8 - 1 7/8=

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/8 - 1 7/8

I like to line them up vertically

3 1/8

- 1 7/8

---------------

We need to borrow from the 3

Take 1 from the 3 and make it 8/8

2 (1/8+8/8)

- 1 (7/8)

---------------------

2 (9/8)

- 1 (7/8)

2. Use the following picture for this question:

Art [367]

Answer:

a. $24\sqrt{3}$ and 41.6

b. 52.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the left side triangle the blue dotted side is the side "opposite" to the angle given and the side 24 is the side that is "adjacent" to the angle given. The trigonometric ratio tan relates opposite to adjacent. Also, let the blue dotted side be y.

<u>Note:</u> the exact value of tan 60 is $\sqrt{3}$

Thus, we can write $Tan(60)=\frac{y}{24}\\y=24*Tan(60)\\y=24*\sqrt{3} \\y=24\sqrt{3}$

Approximate value (rounded to nearest tenth): $24\sqrt{3} =41.6$

Considering the triangle to the right, the side "opposite" to the angle given (53 degrees) is 41.6 (just found in part (a)) and the side "hypotenuse" (side opposite to 90 degree angle) is x. The trigonometric ratio sine relates opposite and hypotenuse.

Thus we can write and solve:

$Sin(53)=\frac{41.6}{x}\\x=\frac{41.6}{Sin(53)}=52.1$
