Answer:
The angle it turns through if it sweeps an area of 48 cm² is 448.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length of a minute hand of a clock is 3.5cm, to find the angle it turns through if it sweeps an area of 48 cm, we will follow the steps below;
area of a sector = Ф/360 × πr²
where Ф is the angle, r is the radius π is a constant
from the question given, the length of the minute hand is 3.5 cm, this implies that radius r = 3.5
Ф =? area of the sector= 48 cm² π =
we can now go ahead to substitute the values into the formula and solve Ф
area of a sector = Ф/360 × πr²
48 = Ф/360 × × (3.5)²
48 = Ф/360 × ×12.25
48 = 269.5Ф / 2520
multiply both-side of the equation by 2520
48×2520 = 269.5Ф
120960 = 269.5Ф
divide both-side of the equation by 269.5
448.8≈Ф
Ф = 448.8°
The angle it turns through if it sweeps an area of 48 cm² is 448.8°
The letter a represents the coefficient of
The absolute value of a (the number without the sign) controls how wide or narrow it is. If the absolute value is a fraction less than 1 the graph gets wider. The smaller the absolute value of the fraction the wider the graph gets.
If the absolute value of a is greater than 1 the graph gets narrower (it gets skinnier). The bigger the absolute value the narrower the graph.
So, if all the graphs look like a U (concave up) then the one with the smallest a is the one that is the widest.
The a also controls whether the graph is concave up or concave down. If a is negative
If a is negative the graph is concave down so any graph that is concave down has a smaller value of a than any graph that is concave up. However, if the graph is concave down the one with the smallest a would be the most narrow one.
So to find the one with the smallest a...
If they are all concave up (like a U) pick the widest one
and
If they are not all concave up pick the narrowest one that is concave down (looks like an upside down U)
