<span>y = -5 cos x is a basic (simple) variation of the basic trig function y = cos x.
The given </span>y = -5 cos x could be re-written as <span>y = -5 cos 1x.
Compare this to the most general form: y = a cos bx.
Here we see that the coefficient b equals 1.
There is a rule for finding the period of such a function: Period = 2pi/b.
Since b = 1 here, the Period here is 2pi/1, or simply 2pi.
Please stop saying "I'm terrible with math." That does not help you at all. Say, instead, "With just a little help I could understand this just fine."</span>
Hello!
It tells you what to do in the question
First round all the numbers to the nearest whole number
2.20 = 2
2.34 = 2
2.7 = 3
Then it says to multiply all the numbers
2 * 2 * 3 = 12
Then it says to divide by 6
12 / 6 = 2
The answer is 2 cubic yards
Hope this helps!
we'd do the same as before on this one as well.
if we take 27.99 to be the 100%, what is 12 off of it in percentage?

x = -29
because
0.35x +1.4=0.25x-1.5
-0.25x -0.25x
_____________________
0.1x + 1.4 = -1.5
-1.4 -1.4
_________________________
0.1x =-2.9
____ _____
0.1 0.1
x = -29
