A swimming dock oscillates up and down as waves go by. At time (in seconds) t = 0 the dock is 15 feet above the bottom of the la

ke. It takes ten seconds to move one cycle (from its highest point at t = 0 back to its next high point at t = 10) It moves down 3.6 feet from high point to low point. In other words it is 11.4 feet above the bottom of the lake at t = 5 seconds.

Answer:

The motion, y of the dock with time , t can be represented as a cosine function as presented in the following equation;

y = 1.8 \times cos(\frac{2\pi }{10} \cdot t) + 13.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we approximate the motion of the dock as a cosine function as follows

y = a·cos(b(x - c)) + d

a = Amplitude

The period = 2π/b

d = Vertical shift

c = Horizontal shift

Here we have the period given as the time to complete one cycle = 10

The vertical shift, d, is the height above the bottom of the lake + amplitude = 11.4 ft + 3.6 ft/2 =13.2 ft

The amplitude is the distance from the highest point to the neutral point = 3.6/2 = 1.8 ft

Therefore, a = 1.8 ft

Again, we have that at t = 0, we have the dock is at its highest point, therefore, the dock agrees well with the cosine function that has the highest value at 0, therefore c = 0

The cosine function representing the motion of the dock is thus;

y = 1.8·cos(2π/10·t) + 13.2.

Vivenne, John and nassim ran for 6th grade class president. Vivenne got four votes for every 3 votes that John got. Nassim got t
liq [111]

Answer:

John received 10% of the overall votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of votes John got  = m

So, the number of votes Vivienne received =   3 times (John's share )

 = 3  times m   =  3 m

Also, The number of Votes Nassim received = 2 times ( Vivienne's share)

2 x (3 m)   = 6 m

Total Votes in the grade 6  

= Votes received by { John + Vivienne + Nassim}

= m + (3 m) + (6 m) = 10 m

Hence, the total number of students who voted in grade 6  = 10 m

\textrm{The percentage of John's Votes }  = \frac{\textrm{Number of votes John received}}{\textrm{Total number of votes }}  \times 100

= \frac{m}{10m}  \times 100 = 10

or, The percentage of John's Votes  = 10%

Hence, John received 10% of the overall votes.

If the area of a right triangle is 9/16 sq.ft. and the height is 3/4 ft., write an equation that relates the area to the base, b
spayn [35]
B=1/2

9/16=1/2b(3/4)

Divide both sides by 3/4

1/4=1\2b

Multiply both sides by 2
