Answer:
h = 10sin(π15t)+35
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the blade as a function f time can be written in the following way:
h = Asin(xt) + B, where:
B represets the initial height of the blade above the ground.
A represents the amplitud of length of the blade.
x represents the period.
The initial height is 35 ft, therefore, B = 35ft.
The amplotud of lenth of the blade is 10ft, therefore A = 10.
The period is two rotations every minute, therefore the period should be 60/4 = 15. Then x = 15π
Finally the equation that can be used to model h is:
h = 10sin(π15t)+35
You haven't told me what the question is. But I put the mouse
to my forehead, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and I could
see it shimmering in my mind's eye. It was quite fuzzy, but I think
the question is
"What score does Andrew need on the next test
in order to raise his average to 72% ?"
The whole experience drew an incredible amount of energy
out of me, and the mouse is a total wreck. So we'll just go ahead
and answer that one. I hope it's the correct question.
The average score on 4 tests is
(1/4) (the sum of all the scores) .
In order for Andrew to have a 72% average on 4 tests,
the sum of the 4 scores must be
(4) x (72%) = 288% .
Out of that total that he needs, he already has
(64% + 69% + 73%) = 206%
on the first three tests.
So in order to average 72% for all 4 tests,
he'll need to score
(288% - 206%) = 82%
on the fourth one.
Dang I was just about to say 22
