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

On any given day, the number of users, u, that access a certain website can be represented by the inequality 125-4530
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our inequality is |125-u| ≤ 30. Let's separate this into two. Assuming that (125-u) is positive, we have 125-u ≤ 30, and if we assume that it's negative, we'd have -(125-u)≤30, or u-125≤30.

Therefore, we now have two inequalities to solve for:

125-u ≤ 30

u-125≤30

For the first one, we can subtract 125 and add u to both sides, resulting in

0 ≤ u-95, or 95≤u. Therefore, that is our first inequality.

The second one can be figured out by adding 125 to both sides, so u ≤ 155.

Remember that we took these two inequalities from an absolute value -- as a result, they BOTH must be true in order for the original inequality to be true. Therefore,

u ≥ 95

and

u ≤ 155

combine to be

95 ≤ u ≤ 155, or the 4th option
