The price of fresh, organic blueberries varies over the course of the year. In early July, when blueberries are abundant, a quar

t of organic blueberries may cost only $4. However, in January, a quart of organic blueberries may cost as much as $9. Model the price of blueberries using a sine or a cosine function. Let x represent the number of months since the beginning of the year(so x=0 means the beginning of January, and x= 6 means the beginning of July). Clearly indicate following:
a. the maximum and minimum
b. the midline
c. the period and rate constant
d. write a formula for the function
e. Clearly label all parts
f. Sketch the graph

May check work by graphing your function on a graphing calculator etc.​

\bold{\text{Answer:}\quad y=\dfrac{5}{2}\cos \bigg(\dfrac{\pi}{6}x\bigg)+\dfrac{13}{2}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use the formula y = A cos (Bx - C) + D    where

  • A = amplitude
  • Period = 2π/B
  • Phase Shift = C/B
  • D = vertical shift (aka midline)

Given: Max = 9, Min = 4, (1/2)Period = 6 → Period = 12

Amplitude (A) = (Max - Min)/2

                      = (9 - 4)/2

                      = 5/2

                     

Midline (D) = (Max + Min)/2  

                  = (9 + 4)/2

                  = 13/2                

Period = 2π/B    

→ B = 2π/Period

      = 2π/12

      = π/6

Notice that the Maximum touches the y-axis so there is no phase shift and no reflection → C-value = 0 & A-value is positive

Now, let's put it all together:

A = 5/2, B = π/6, C = 0, D = 13/2

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{5}{2}\cos \bigg(\dfrac{\pi}{6}x\bigg)+\dfrac{13}{2}}

Note that your graph will NOT fit the graph given because the max occurs in January (x = 0) and the min occurs in July (x = 6). The graph provided has the min at x = 0 and the max at x = 6.

IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
jekas [21]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 1851 people would have an IQ less than 115.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

\mu = 100, \sigma = 15

The proportion of IQ scores less than 115 is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 115</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{115 - 100}{15}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a p-value of 0.8413.

Out of 2200 people:

0.8413 x 2200 = 1851.

Simplify.<br> (w^2 + 3w)-(w^2+5w-4<br><br> 8w-4<br> 2w^2 +8w-4<br> -2w+4<br> -2w
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

-2w + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove parenthesis because they make life semi-confusing but remember to distribute the negative: w^2 + 3w -w^2 - 5w + 4

Combine like terms: w^2 - w^2 cancel out ; 3w - 5w = -2w ; 4

-2w + 4

PLZZZZZ HELP ME! :) XDDD
Taya2010 [7]
 In order to figure out what the answer is you would have to divide the number of feet it fell by the time. If you do 35.75 divided by 3.25 it would be 11. 
So the answer most likely would be 11
Please correct me if I am wrong
Have a great day!
