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

Find the y intercept. I already found the slope is 9.
jeka57 [31]

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

We have the slope m = 9, therefore: y = 9x + b.

Next. We have the table:

x | -5 | -2 | 1 | 3 | 4 |

y |-46|-19| 8 |26|35|

(1, 8) → x = 1, y = 8

substitute the values of x and y to the equation:

8 = 9(1) + b

8 = 9 + b |-9

b = -1

Answer: y = 9x - 1 → y-intercept is -1.

The length of s is 2/3 the length of t. If s has an area of 368 cm squared find the perimeter of the figure
ser-zykov [4K]
s = \frac{2}{3}t
\\\ \frac{2}{3}t*t = \frac{2}{3}t^2
\\\ \frac{2}{3}t^2 = 368
\\\ t^2 = \frac {3}{2}368
\\\ t^2 = 552
\\\ t \approx 23.5
\\\ s \approx 15.6
\\\ P \approx 78.2

Answer:

2 should be distributed as 2y + 16; y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to distribute 2, then:

Now we have to sum (-2y) in both sides of the equation:

Finally we have to divide both sides of the equation in 2:

Then the answer is 2 should be distributed as 2y + 16; y = 8

Hope this helps.
