Answer:

The cosine function to model the height of a water particle above and below the mean water line is h = 2·cos((π/30)·t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine function equation is given as follows h = d + a·cos(b(x - c))

Where:

\left | a \right | = Amplitude

2·π/b = The period

c = The phase shift

d = The vertical shift

h = Height of the function

x = The time duration of motion of the wave, t

The given data are;

The amplitude \left | a \right | = 2 feet

Time for the wave to pass the dock

The number of times the wave passes a point in each cycle = 2 times

Therefore;

The time for each complete cycle = 2 × 30 seconds  = 60 seconds

The time for each complete cycle = Period = 2·π/b = 60

b = π/30 =

Taking the phase shift as zero, (moving wave) and the vertical shift as zero (movement about the mean water line), we have

h = 0 + 2·cos(π/30(t - 0)) = 2·cos((π/30)·t)

The cosine function is h = 2·cos((π/30)·t).

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape ABCDEF is an irregular polygon.  

The sum of the interior angles of any regular or irregular polygon = (n - 2) x 180 (where n is the number of sides of the polygon).  

Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of shape ABCDEF = (6 - 2) x 180 = 720°

So to find the value of x, we need to add together all the interior angles and equal it to 720, then solve for x.

Before we do that, we need to determine angle F.

From inspection, we can see that angle F and 52° are a linear pair.  We know that a linear pair of angles add up to 180°, so F + 52 = 180  ⇒  F = 180 - 52 = 128°

Therefore:

                                           A + B + C + D + E + F = 720

(10x - 5) + 108 + (8x - 3) + (14x - 25) + 133 + 128 = 720

Collect like terms:

10x + 8x + 14x - 5 + 108 - 3 - 25 + 133 + 128 = 720

Combine like terms:

32x + 336 = 720

Subtract 336 from both sides:

32x = 384

Divide both sides by 32:

x = 12

Some kids are selling lemonade for $1.50 per cup at a high
BaLLatris [955]

A function that would represent profit based on the number of cups of lemonade is Profit = 1.5n - 14

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Some kids are selling lemonade for $1.50 per cup at a high school baseball game.  

They spent $14 on all of the items needed for the lemonade stand (cups, lemonade, table oth, sign, etc)

We have to create a function that would represent profit based on the number of cups of lemonade

Now, let the number of cups sold be "n"

Then , we know that,<em> profit = selling price – cost price  </em>

Profit = number of cups sold x price per cup – cost price

Profit = n x $ 1.5 – $ 14  

Profit = 1.5n – 14

Hence, the function is Profit = 1.5n - 14
