If the graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis and 6 is an x-intercept, name another x-intercept

1 answer:

4 0

-6 because for every value (x,y) there is another value (-x,y) so for the value (6,0) there must also be a value (-6,0). That is what the definition of y-axis symmetry is, it is also known as being an "even" function if it has this type of symmetry. Look at the graph of y=(x^2)-36 to see how this works.

How can you tell if an ordered pair (x,y) is a solution or a system of linear equations?

Answer:

you will know because it you do the system of whatever thingy and there are no two dots in the same row and the line is straight in either a negative or positive slope at a diagonal the equation is linear and its a function.

1..A message in a bottle is floating on top of the ocean in a periodic manner. The time between periods of maximum heights is 26

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations (along with a graph attached)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The amplitude of a sinusoidal function is half the distance between the maximum and the minimum. It is given to us that the distance from the highest and lowest point is 6 feet, so our amplitude is 6/2 = 3 feet

Part B

The graph's function would be in the form of $y=acos(bx+c)+d$ where $a$ is the amplitude, $\frac{2\pi}{b}$ is the period, $-\frac{c}{b}$ is the phase/horizontal shift, and $d$ is the average/midline.

We already know our amplitude of $a=3$ from part A.

Since our period is given to us as 26 seconds, then we can use the equation $\frac{2\pi}{b}=26$ to find $b$ , which happens to be $b=\frac{\pi}{13}$ .

Since the cosine function starts at its maximum and we want it to start at the average where the bottle travels up, we would need to use the cofunction identity $sin(x)=cos(x-\frac{\pi}{2})$ which shifts the cosine graph $\frac{\pi}{2}$ units to the right. This means that $c=-\frac{\pi}{2}$ , making our phase shift $-\frac{c}{b}=-\frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{\frac{\pi}{13}}=6.5$ , or 6.5 feet to the right

Our average/midline would be $d=12$ as given as the average height by the problem.

Therefore, the function is $f(x)=3cos(\frac{\pi}{13}x-\frac{\pi}{2})+12$

Part C

Using our determined function from Part B, by looking at its graph, we see that the bottle will reach its lowest height of 9 feet after 19.5 seconds (see attached graph).
