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.

Plss help!<br>Question: Find a,b and c​
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

See below, please

Step-by-step explanation:

The right:

{(y + c)}^{2}  - b \times (x + a) \\  = ( {y}^{2}  + 2yc +  {c}^{2} ) - bx - ba  =

= {y}^{2}  - bx + 2cy +  {c}^{2}  - ab

The left:

=  {y}^{2}  - 7x - 18y + 109

So, after comparing the right side and the left side of this equation, we know

1)

b = 7

2)

2c =  - 18 \\ so \\ c =  - 9

3)

{c}^{2}  - ab = 109

So,

a =  \frac{ {c}^{2}  - 109}{b}  =  \frac{ { (- 9)}^{2}  - 109}{7}  =  \frac{ - 28}{7}  =  - 4
