Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the distance between two points is expressed as shown

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

Given the coordinate (17,3) and (17,−5), from the coordinates x₁ = 17, y₁ = 3, x₂ = 17 and y₂ = -5.Substituting the values given into the formula;

D = √(17-17)²+(-5-3)²

D = √0²+(-8)²

D = √64

D = 8

According to the result gotten, it can concluded that Marcia is correct although she didn't use the right expression to calculate her distance. She should have taken the square root of the sum of the square of difference in the coordinates axis according to the formula used.

The equation which models the distance (d) of the weight from its equilibrium after time (t) is equal to d = -9cos(2π/3)t.

<h3>What is the period of a cosine function?</h3>

The period of a cosine function simply means the total length (distance) of the interval of values on the x-axis over which a graph lies and it's repeated.

Since the weight attached is at its lowest point at time (t = 0), therefore, the amplitude of equation will be negative nine (-9)

For the angular velocity at time period (t = 3s), we have:

ω = 2π/T

ω = 2π/3

Mathematically, the standard equation of a cosine function is given by:

y = Acos(ω)t

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

d = -9cos(2π/3)t.

A 10 meter long wire is attached to the top of a flagpole 5√3 meters long. What is the measure of the angle the wire makes with
liberstina [14]
Well there has to be a right angle in there somewhere as the pole must be perpendicular to the ground.

Using the sine rule:
sinA/a = sinB/b where a = 10, A = 90, b = 5√3, B = B
Re-arrange for B, B = arcsin (b(sinA)/a)
B = arcsin(5√3(sin90)/10)
B = 60 degrees.

Answer is C
