Answer:
<u><em>y = -190 cos(π t / 120) + 195</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>General form of a sinusoidal function: y = A cos(Bt - C) + D
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Now generally a cosine function starts at the maximum value, so to start at the minimum value, flip the cosine function by making it negative.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>A is the amplitude of the curve and will be the radius of the ferris wheel. Therefore, A = 380 / 2 = 190 feet.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
2π / B is the period of the curve and will be the time to complete one full rotation. The time to complete one full rotation is given as 4 minutes. Convert this into seconds to get period = 4 minutes * (60 seconds / minute) = 240 seconds. Therefore, B = 2π / period = 2π / 240 seconds = π / 120.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
C/B is the phase shift, or horizontal shift of the graph. Since the negative cosine function already starts at the minimum value, there is no phase shift so C/B = 0, meaning C = 0.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
D is the vertical shift and will be the height of the center of the ferris wheel. Therefore, D = 195 feet.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
Your final function will be:</em>
<u><em>y = -190 cos(π t / 120) + 195</em></u>
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways to go at this.
My first choice is to use a graphing calculator. It shows the function has a zero at x=5, so x-5 is a factor.
Another good choice is to use synthetic division (2nd attachment). If the remainder is zero, then x-5 is a factor. It is and it is.

You can also evaluate the function at x=5. The remainder theorem tells you that if the value is zero, then x-5 is a factor. Evaluating the polynomial written in Horner form is a lot like synthetic division.
(((x -4)x -15)x +58)x -40 for x=5 is ... (-10·5 +58)5 -40 = 40-40 = 0
The value of h(5) is zero, so x-5 is a factor of h(x).
A = 21/2 i will write something too just to fill up the space
Answer:
88 inches ^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Well find the side of a triangle first.
4*9=26
26/2=18
There are 4 identical triangles
18*4= 72
Now the bottom square
4*4=16
16+72= 88
88 inches ^2
Answer:
See explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Graph the quadrilateral. By inspection, you can tell where the midpoint is. (see attachment 1)
Now, I'll draw a line through it. (see attachment 2)
To reflect across a line, think about the points traveling across the line the same number of spaces the point is from the line. For example, point A is three away from the line. So, A' will be 3 away from the other side. The coordinates will be at (-3,2). (see attachment 3).
Do the same for the other points, and you'll have your image.
