Question

Please help I am struggling

Answer 1

☆ The relation between x and y is y = a cos x° +b

Taking 1st condition from the table .

→ x = 0 and y = 9

→ y = a + cos 0° + b

→ 9 = a + cos 0° + b

☆ We know that cos 0° = 1

→ 9 = a(1) + b

→ a + b = 9. equation 1st

Now taking other condition

→ x = 90° and y = 1

→ y = a cos 90° + b

→ 1 = a cos 90° + b

☆ We know that cos 90° is 0

→ 1 = a(0) + b

→ 1 = b

Putting the value of b in equation 1st .

→ 9 = a + 1

→ a = 8 .

Now taking the value of x according to the question .

☆ x = 45 °

→ y = 8 ( cos 45°) + 1

☆ We know that cos 45° is 1/√2

→ y = 8(1/√2) + 1

→ 8 = 4×√2×√2

y = 4√2 +1

So the answer is 4√2+1
