An airplane's change in altitude before landing is shown in the table. what equation represents this change in altitude?
1 answer:
Answer:
a=-4000m+39000
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given table, we can see that the difference between any consecutive altitude is 4000 ft.
31000 - 35000 = -4000
27000- 31000 = -4000
23000-27000 = -4000
Hence, it represents an arithmetic sequence with a = 3500 and d = -4000
The general term of an arithmetic sequence is given by

Answer:
y = sin(x- pi/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached image to see your graphs.
By simple inspection we can see that the sine is shifted pi/2 to the right.
We know this because sines are periodic functions with a period T = 2*pi
We can also see that the maximum point of the graph (y = 1) got shifted by a fourth of the period.
And finally, since we want to shift the graph to the right, we need to substract from the argument of the sine term.
