Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that an object oscillates 4 feet from its minimum height to its maximum height. The object is back at the maximum height every 3 seconds. We are asked to find the cosine function that can be used to model the height of the object.
We know that standard form of cosine function is 
, where,
|A| = Amplitude,
Period = 
,
C = Phase shift,
D = Vertical shift.
Since distance between maximum and minimum is 4, therefore, amplitude will be half of it, that is, 
.
Since objects gets back to its maximum value in every 3 seconds, therefore, period of the function is 3 seconds. We know that period is given by , therefore, we can write 
, therefore, 
.
We haven't been given any information about phase and mid-line, we can assume the values of C and D to be zero
.
Therefore, our function required function would be .
First, find the nth term
To do this, find the term to term difference...
A
-7 and 3 = 10
3 and 13 = 10
13 and 23 = 10
As the difference is 10, we now write out the 10 times table
10, 20, 30, 40
The next step is to work out how to get from the sequence to the 10x table
B
-7 - 10 = -17
3 - 20 = -17
13 - 30 = -17
23 - 40 = -17
Now use the answer from each section in the general formula
x = An + B
This could also be written as ?n + ?
Using our numbers, this becomes 10n - 17
Now use the formula to work out the 110th term
(10 x 110) - 17
1100 - 17 = 1083
Answer:
x = −
4 ± √
10,
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 4)² = 20
=> 2(x + 4) (x + 4) = 20
=> 2x + 8 (x + 4) = 20
=> 2x² + 8x + 8x + 32 = 20
=> 2x² + 16x + 32 = 20
=> 2x² + 16x + 12 = 0
=> Now solve using the quadratic formula:
x = −
4 ± √
10,
Radical form: −
4 ± √
10,
Decimal form: -0.84, -7.16
Hope this helps!
Answer:
I think 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW formula for area of rectangle
(2x + 1)(2x) = 20 substitute length, width, and area into formula
4x² + 2x - 20 = 0 use the distributive property to multiply out left side
2x² + x - 10 = 0 divide both sides of equation by 2
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 factor out trinomial
2x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 use zero product rule to solve for x
2x = -5 or x = 2 subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides
x = -5/2 or x = 2
We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.
Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
