ct at 12:00 P.M. on a given day, then at 1:00 P.M., Ann's watch would read 12:58 P.M. and Beth's watch would read 1:01 P.M. Ann and Beth set there watches to the correct time at noon on Sunday. The next time they met, one of the watches was one hour ahead of the other. What was the earliest time this could have been?

Answer:

<em>At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

When two magnitudes have a linear dependency where one of them is the other by a constant quantity, we can say they are proportional. Like distance and time when moving at a constant speed, double time means double distance, triple time means triple distance and so on.

The problem explains how two watches run too slow or too fast in such a way that every hour they are 3 more minutes apart. If Ann and Beth set their watches to the correct time at noon on Sunday, by 1 pm their watches are 3 minutes apart. By 2 pm their watches are 6 minutes apart and so on.

When will their watches be 1 hour (60 minutes) apart? We'll use proportions to find it out.

If every hour they get 3 minutes apart, we need 60/3 = 20 hours to have their watches 1 hour apart.

Answer: At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch

Which formula gives the x-coordinates of the maximum values for y = cos(x)?
REY [17]

Answer with explanation:

The given trigonometric Function is,

     y= cos x

→The maximum value of , cos x , is 1,  at x=0 degree.

Cos x =1

→Cos x = Cos (0)degree,

x=2 k \pi \pm 0

→ for, k= An Integer

x=2 k π→→General formula that  gives the x-coordinates of the maximum values for y = cos(x)

Ordered Pair =(x,y)=(2 k π, 1)

For, any value of , k in the given equation, y will be always 1.

Describe how to find the scale factor if an antenna is 60 feet long and a scale drawing shows the length as 1 foot long. Please
bekas [8.4K]
The actual is 60 feet long, the drawing is only 1 foot long. So the scale factor must be 1/60. You know that the scale factor has to be less than one in this case because you're going from a bigger measurement to a smaller measurement(60 to 1).
