The graph of y= sin (x-3pi/2) is the graph of the y = sin(x) shifted in which direction?

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$y=\sin(x-\frac{3\pi}{2})$ is the graph of $y=\sin x$ shifted to the right by $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$y=\sin(x-\frac{3\pi}{2})$

The base function of this trigonometric function is $y=\sin x$

In general, the transformation $y=\sin(x-k)$ will shift the graph of the base function, $y=\sin x$ , k units to the right.

Therefore, $y=\sin(x-\frac{3\pi}{2})$ is the graph of $y=\sin x$ shifted to the right by $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ units.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

If the outside diameter of the wheel is 66cm, it will travel 1 wheel circumference. Circumference is Pi x diameter = 3.14 x 66 = 207.24 cm.Step-by-step

Explanation:

If the diameter is of the wheel (without the tire) you need to calculate the actual diameter from the outermost edge of the tire.

(a) Suppose you have 9 gold coins that look identical, but you also know one (and only one) of them is counterfeit. The counterf

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split the coins into 3 groups, each of them has 3 coins. Weigh group 1 vs group 2, if one is lighter, that group has the fake coin. If both groups weigh the same, then group 3 has the fake coin.

Continue to split the group that has the fake coin into 3 groups, each group has 1 coin. Now apply the same procedure and we can identify the fake coin.

Total of scale usage is 2

b) if you have $3^n$ coins then you can apply the same approach and find the fake coin with just n steps. By splitting up to 3 groups each step, after each step you should be able to narrow down your suspected coin by 3 times.
