Rachel's chocolate bar is 43% cocoa. If the weight of the chocolate bar is 68 grams, how many grams of cocoa does it contain? Ro
Yanka [14]

Answer:

29.24 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Rachel's chocolate bar is 43% cocoa

The weight of the chocolate bar is 68 grams

We need to find how many grams of cocoa does it contain. It means it will contain 43% of 68 grams. It can be solved as follows :

C=\dfrac{43}{100}\times 68\\\\C=29.24\ \text{grams}

Hence, it will have 29.24 grams of cocoa.

A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 380 feet and the center of the wheel is 195 feet above the ground. The wheel makes a complete t
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

<u><em>y = -190 cos(π t / 120) + 195</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>General form of a sinusoidal function: y = A cos(Bt - C) + D </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Now generally a cosine function starts at the maximum value, so to start at the minimum value, flip the cosine function by making it negative. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>A is the amplitude of the curve and will be the radius of the ferris wheel. Therefore, A = 380 / 2 = 190 feet. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> 2π / B is the period of the curve and will be the time to complete one full rotation. The time to complete one full rotation is given as 4 minutes. Convert this into seconds to get period = 4 minutes * (60 seconds / minute) = 240 seconds. Therefore, B = 2π / period = 2π / 240 seconds = π / 120. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> C/B is the phase shift, or horizontal shift of the graph. Since the negative cosine function already starts at the minimum value, there is no phase shift so C/B = 0, meaning C = 0. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> D is the vertical shift and will be the height of the center of the ferris wheel. Therefore, D = 195 feet. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> Your final function will be:</em>

<u><em>y = -190 cos(π t / 120) + 195</em></u>

Write a equation of a hyperbola given the foci and the asymptotes
professor190 [17]

Solution:

The standard equation of a hyperbola is expressed as

\begin{gathered} \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ \lparen parallel to the x-axis\rparen} \\ \frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ \lparen parallel to the y-axis\rparen} \end{gathered}

Given that the hyperbola has its foci at (0,-15) and (0, 15), this implies that the hyperbola is parallel to the y-axis.

Thus, the equation will be expressed in the form:

\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ ----equation 1}

The asymptote of n hyperbola is expressed as

y=\pm\frac{a}{b}(x-h)+k

Given that the asymptotes are

y=\frac{3}{4}x\text{ and y=-}\frac{3}{4}x

This implies that

a=3,\text{ and b=4}

To evaluate the value of h and k,

undefined

<span>Angle T = Angle C, let them equal x

So x + x + 140 = 180

2x = 40

x = 20

So Angle T = 20 degrees </span>

What are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola described by the equation below? y = -7(x - 4)2 - 5
pochemuha
To get the vertex of the parabola we proceed as follows;
y=-7(x-4)^2-5
The above can be written as:
y=-7x^2+56x-117
The values of a,b and c are:
a=-7, b=56 and c=-117
x=-b/(2a)
x=-56/(-7*2)=4
but;
y=-7x^2+56x-117
y=-7(4)^2+56(4)-117
y=-5
Thus;
x=4 and y=-5
The vertex will be at point (4,-5)
