Answer:

y = 5cos(πx/4) +11

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is 5 ft, so that will be the multiplier of the trig function.

The car starts at the top of the wheel, so the appropriate trig function is cosine, which is 1 (its maximum value) when its argument is zero.

The period is 8 seconds, so the argument of the cosine function will be 2π(x/8) = πx/4. This changes by 2π when x changes by 8.

The centerline of the wheel is the sum of the minimum and the radius, so is 6+5 = 11 ft. This is the offset of the scaled cosine function.

Putting that all together, you get

... y = 5cos(π/4x) + 11

_____

The answer selections don't seem to consistently identify the argument of the trig function properly. We assume that π/4(x) means (πx/4), where this product is the argument of the trig function.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to start by making a small chart of what is happening at what time.

x 0 4 8

y 16 6 16

Essentially this is a cosine function.

Now you need to fill in some of the details. The key is what is happening at x = 4 seconds? At that time, you must add a minus amount in the cosine function to the amplitude to get 6. The only way to do that is if you have

y = 5* cos( (x/4)*pi) + 11

y = 5*cos( (4/4)*pi) + 11

y = 5 * cos(pi) + 11

y = 5 * (-1) + 11

y = -5 + 11 = 6

==================

x = 0

y = 5* cos( (pi/4)*0 ) + 11

y = 5 * cos(0) + 11

y = 5 (1) + 11

y = 16

===================

x = 8 seconds

y = 5*cos(8/4)*pi) + 11

y = 5*cos(2*pi) + 11

y = 5 * (1) + 11

y = 16

==================

The question is where did the 11 come from?

The Ferris wheel has a diameter of 10 feet and a radius of 5

The high and low points are 16 and 6.

The center of the Ferris wheel is between 16 and 6. Between in this case means average.

(16 + 6)/2 = 22/2 = 11

The height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation h = -16t^2 + 24t + 16, where t is the time in seconds

boyakko [2]

The rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that the height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation $h=-16t^2+24t+16$ , where t is the time in seconds after the rock is thrown.

We need to determine the time at which the rock will hit the ground.

To determine the time, let us equate the height h = 0 in the equation $h=-16t^2+24t+16$ , we get,

$0=-16t^2+24t+16$

Switch sides, we have,

$-16 t^{2}+24 t+16=0$

Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.

Thus, we have,

$t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{24^{2}-4(-16) 16}}{2(-16)}$

Simplifying, we get,

$t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{576+1024}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{1600}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{-24 \pm 40}{-32}$

Hence, the two values of t are

$t=\frac{-24 + 40}{-32}$ and $t=\frac{-24 -40}{-32}$

Simplifying the values, we get,

$t=\frac{16}{-32}$ and $t=\frac{-64}{-32}$

Dividing, we get,

$t=-\frac{1}{2}$ and $t=2$

Since, t cannot negative values, we have,

$t=2$

Thus, the rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Indicate the method you would use to prove the two triangle 's . If no method applies, enter "none".

Sever21 [200]

You would use AAS because of the fact that there is two angles and the angle where both triangles instersect and create a verticle angle, there is no angle written. It has an angle then another angle then a side. Hope this helps!

A group of five people are all working on the same mathematics problem. On the night before it is due, they call each other to d

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Minimum number of calls = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets name the five people as A,B,C,D and E.

On the night before ,each person talks to every other person atleast once that means A would talk to B,C,D and E atleast once.

Lets start with A. He would talk to other 4 people which means there would be 4 phone calls made.

Now lets take B. He can talk to A,C,D and E. But A has already talked to C therefore to get minimum number of phone calls , B need not call A again. So he calls only C,D and E.

In case of C using similar logic he need to talk to only D and E.

For D , he talks to E alone.

E does not have to talk to anyone as he has already talked to everyone atleast once.

Total calls = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

= 10
