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.

FIND PR.PLS HELP BRAINLIEST...
slega [8]

Answer:

6.2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two angles and an opposite corresponding side. To solve for an unknown side, we can use the law of sines.

\frac{8}{sin(90)}=\frac{x}{sin(180-39-90)}=\frac{x}{sin(51)}

Cross multiplying and solving will get you this:

x=\frac{8(sin(51))}{sin(90}

Which can simplify to:

x=8(sin(51))

Which putting into a calculator gets you:

x=6.2

So the line PR is 6.2 units long.

The final answer would be:
9x / (x-8)

The exact steps are shown in the attached picture.
Note that when dividing two fractions, we convert the division into multiplication and flip the second term.
