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.

How does the Counting Principle help when determining the sample space for a probability distribution?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

This is also known as the Counting rule.

The Fundamental Counting Principle is used in determining all the possible outcomes and the total possible ways different events can be combined with each other. It is usually done by multiplying all the events together to get the total possible outcome. Doing this also helps in determining the sample space of a probability.

For example there are events a, b and c. The total sample space or possible outcome will be a*b*c.

Write the equation of the following graph in vertex form.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Correct choice is 2. f(x)=0.4(x+2)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph of the quadratic function. Now we need to use that graph to find the equation of the graph in vertex form. By the way given choices written in intercept form so to be accurate we are going to find the equation in intercept form.

from graph we see that x-intercepts are at 5 and -2.

we know that if x=a is x-intercept then (x-a) must be factor.

So (x+2)(x-5) is the factor.

when leading coefficient is positive then graph opens upward.

so that means leading coefficient is 0.4

Hence correct choice is 2. f(x)=0.4(x+2)(x-5)

What is the equation of the following line written in general form? (The y-intercept is -1.)
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2x - y - 1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, use the ordered pair (1, 1) in any of the equations. If it results in a true statement then this can be an equation.

2x - y - 1 = 0

2(1) - (1) - 1 = 0

2 - 1 - 1 = 0

0 = 0 (TRUE STATEMENT)
