Answer:

H(t)=-20\text{cos}(\frac{\pi}{12}t)+60

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the desert temperature, H, oscillates daily between 40◦F at 5 am and 80◦F at 5 pm. We are asked to write a formula H in terms of t, measured in hours from 5 am.

We will use cosine function to write our required formula.

y=A\text{cos}[B(x-C)]+D, where,

A = Amplitude,

\text{Period}=\frac{2\pi}{|B|}

C = Phase shift,

D = Vertical shift.

First of all, we will find amplitude using maximum and minimum values as:

A=\frac{\text{Maximum value}-\text{Minimum value}}{2}

A=\frac{80-40}{2}

A=\frac{40}{2}

A=20

Since period is 24 hours (5 am to 5 pm), so let us find B as:

24=\frac{2\pi}{|B|}

B=\frac{2\pi}{24}

B=\frac{\pi}{12}

\text{Vertical shift}=\frac{\text{Maximum value}+\text{Minimum value}}{2}

D=\frac{80+40}{2}=\frac{120}{2}=60

There is no phase shift.

Since temperature is minimum when t=0, so we will use negative cosine as:

H(t)=-20\text{cos}(\frac{\pi}{12}t)+60

Therefore, our required function would be H(t)=-20\text{cos}(\frac{\pi}{12}t)+60.

Kiwi and Corn got into an argument over if 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for 6. Do you think 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

No, it is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

comparing the two given values, 1.75 and 6, estimating 1.75 for 6 is not reasonable. This is due to the fact that converting 1.75 to the nearest whole number gives 2 which is far away from 6. Since,

   6 - 2 = 4

So, estimating 1.75 for 6 would involve a large value of error. Which make it unreasonable. It would have been more reasonable to estimate 1.75 for 2.

Find four consecutive odd integers such that 10 more than twice the least is equal to the sum of the third and fourth.
Lady bird [3.3K]
Consecutive odd numbers are 2 apart

they are
x,x+2,x+4,x+6



10+2x=x+4+x+6
10+2x=2x+10
x=x
true
any consecutive odd integers will work

1,3,5,7 works
3,5,7,9 works
etc

PLZ HELP ASAP
zubka84 [21]

Here we go.

1) x/5 - 4h = 35

2) {(6-p)/3}+8

3) This is just 1.4k, since the distance you're trying to find is 1.4 times k feet.

You can include a diagram easily enough. Just draw a baseball diamond and two lines, one connecting first and third base and labeled 1.4k, while the other line, connecting home to third, is labeled k.


Hope that helped!

Pls need help... brainliest :))
belka [17]

Answer:

I am not the best in this type of math, the best thing I can do is help you.

You see that there is a pattern in the chart? X adds 2 every column, and Y adds 4 every column.

I believe the slope simplified is 2/1, if you are following y/x. If not, then the other way around.  

Unfortunately, I can't help you with the rest of the problem, but I hope you can get a good idea of what your supposed to do.

Have a good day.
