PRECALCULUS HELP IM BEGGING YOU

Mathematics
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago

Answer: Period = 2 seconds

Graph is shown below

========================================================

Explanation:

1 minute = 60 seconds

We have 30 revolutions every 60 seconds, so we can write the ratio

30 rev: 60 sec

Divide both parts by 30 to turn that "30 rev" into "1 rev"

30 rev: 60 sec

30/30 rev: 60/30 sec

1 rev : 2 sec

This tells us that each full revolution takes 2 seconds. This is the period of the ferris wheel. The period is the length of each cycle.

The cyclic or periodic nature of this motion heavily implies we'll be dealing with a sine or cosine function of some kind. Let's go with sine.

Side note: cosine is really a sine function in disguise (it's just a phase shifted version of it).

---------------------

The general sine curve equation is

y = A*sin(B(x-C)) + D

where

  • |A| = amplitude
  • B = 2pi/T with T being the period
  • C handles phase shifts (left and right shifting)
  • D handles vertical shifting, and y = D is the equation of the midline

---------------------

The wheel is 10 feet in diameter, so 10/2 = 5 is the radius. This is also the amplitude because it is the distance from the midline to either the highest point (10 ft) or lowest point (0 ft). So A = 5.

Since T = 2 is the period, this means,

B = 2pi/T

B = 2pi/2

B = pi

We don't have any phase shifts to worry about so C = 0.

The midline is D = 5 since this is halfway up

----------------------

Putting all the pieces together, we get this sine equation

y = A*sin(B(x-C)) + D

y = 5*sin(pi*(x-0)) + 5

y = 5*sin(pi*x) + 5

The graph is shown below.

x = time in seconds, y = height of the seat

An illusionist needs up to 10 volunteers for a show. the illusionist needs no fewer than 4 female volunteers. let x represent the number of femalevolunteers and y represent the number of male volunteers.which inequalities model the situation?select each correct answer.

A- x + y < 10 
<span>B- x + y ≤ 10 & </span>x ≥ 4  
C- x > 4 
D- x ≥ 4 
E- y > 0 
G- y ≥ 0

Solution :
option "B" is correct. Because the total number of male and female should be upto 10. and the number of female should be equal or greater than 4 but not less than it.

What is n (6.5=-3+n) plz help
Tresset [83]

Answer:

n=−0.545455

Step-by-step explanation:

n(6.5)=−3+n

Simplify both sides of the equation.

n(6.5)=−3+n

6.5n=−3+n

6.5n=n−3

Subtract n from both sides.

6.5n−n=n−3−n

5.5n=−3

Divide both sides by 5.5.

5.5n

5.5

=

−3

5.5
