Let f(x)= [x/3] (where f(x) is the ceiling function). We learned that the floor and the ceiling functions are NOT invertible, bu

t we also learned about the set of preimages of any value in the Range, the set of images. Keeping that in mind, give your answer in interval notation if necessary.
a. Find f-1({5})
b. Find f-1({-2})
c. Find f-1({x | 5 = x = 9 })
d. Find f-1({x | -6 = x = -2})

(a) We have ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = 5 if 5 ≤ <em>x</em> < 6, and similarly ⌊<em>x</em>/3⌋ = 5 if

5 ≤ <em>x</em>/3 < 6   ==>   15 ≤ <em>x</em> < 18

(b) ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = -2 if -2 ≤ <em>x</em> < -1, so ⌊<em>x</em>/3⌋ = -2 if

-2 ≤ <em>x</em>/3 < -1   ==>   -6 ≤ <em>x</em> < -3

In general, ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = <em>n</em> if <em>n</em> ≤ <em>x</em> < <em>n</em> + 1, where <em>n</em> is any integer.

I do not understand what is being asked in (c) and (d), so you'll have to clarify...

A weight attached to a spring is at its lowest point, 9 inches below equilibrium, at time t = 0 seconds. When the weight it rele
enot [183]

For a better understanding of the explanation provided here kindly go through the file attached.

Since, the weight attached is already at the lowest point at time, t=0, therefore, the equation will have a -9 as it's "amplitude" and it will be a Cosine function. This is because in cosine function, the function has the value of the amplitude at t=0.

Now, we know that the total angle in radians covered by a cosine in a given period is 2\pi and the period given in the question is t=3 seconds. Therefore, the angular velocity, \omega of the mentioned system will be:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{3}

Combining all the above information, we see that the equation which models the distance, d, of the weight from its equilibrium after t seconds will be:

d=-9cos(\frac{2\pi}{3})t

Thus, Option B is the correct option. The attached diagram is the graph of the option B and we can see clearly that at t=3, the weight indeed returns to it's original position.

Answer is A. 3 1/4 is to the left of 7/2 and 7/2 is to the left of 3.75.
With a horizontal line, they are talking about the integers from positive to negative. as you go left the numbers decrease and as you go right the numbers increase
First change 3 1/4 and 7/2 into decimals
3 1/4= 3.25
7/2= 3 1/2= 3.5

Here are your decimals from least to greatest.
3.25, 3.5, 3.75
So 3.25 (3 1/4) is to the left of 3.5 (7/2) and it is to the left of 3.75
