Mathematics

JulsSmile [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Parabolas are frequently used in physics and engineering for things such as the design of automobile headlight reflectors and the paths of ballistic missiles. Parabolas are frequently encountered as graphs of quadratic functions.

The same effects occur with sound and other forms of energy. This reflective property is the basis of many practical uses of parabolas. The parabola has many important applications, from a parabolic antenna or parabolic microphone to automobile headlight reflectors to the design of ballistic missiles.

Luiza is jumping on a trampoline. Ht models her distance above the ground (in m) t seconds after she starts
Damm [24]

Answer:

t=2.08 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, in this example, H(t)=-0.6cos(2pi/2.5)t+1.5 should be equal to 1.2. If calculated, -0.6cos(0.8pi)t=1.2-1.5 which is equal to -0.6cos(0.8pi)t=-0.3, then cos(0.8pi)t=0.5. The value of cosine in terms of radians when it is equal to 0.5 is pi/3. So, cos(0.8pi)t=cos(pi/3). If simplified, (0.8pi)*t=5pi/3. pi's are cancelled out and t is calculated as 2.08333... If rounded to the nearest hundredth it is 2.08.

Which does not show a direct variation between x and y?
Zepler [3.9K]
A direct variation is a mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other. In other words, a direct variation is where y = x * (constant).

In answer a, y = x*.5, so it is a direct variation.
In answer c, y = x* \frac{1}{9}, so it is a direct variation.
In answer d, y = x*2, so it is a direct variation,

Only answer b is left, which means the answer must be 'b'. 

We also know 'b' is the answer because it cannot be expressed as <span>y = x * (constant). Instead, it is expressed as </span>y =  \frac{constant}{x}, which is not the same thing and is therefore not a direct variation.

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :)
