The equation of this sinusoidal function is either
f(x) = a sin(bx) + c
or
f(x) = a cos(bx) + c
Either way, the plot of f9x) has amplitude a, period 2π/b, and midline y = c.
If the period is π/2, then
2π/b = π/2 ⇒ b = 4
If the maximum value is 10 and the minimum value is -4, then
-4 ≤ a sin(4x) + c ≤ 10
-4 - c ≤ a sin(4x) ≤ 10 - c
-(4 + c)/a ≤ sin(4x) ≤ (10 - c)/a
Recall that sin(x) is bounded between -1 and 1. So we must have
-(4 + c)/a = -1 ⇒ a = c + 4
(10 - c)/a = 1 ⇒ a = -c + 10
Combining these equations and eliminating either variable gives
a + a = (c + 4) + (-c + 10) ⇒ 2a = 14 ⇒ a = 7
a - a = (c + 4) - (-c + 10) ⇒ 0 = 2c - 6 ⇒ c = 3
Finally, we have either
f(x) = a sin(bx) + c ⇒ f(0) = c = 3
or
f(x) = a cos(bx) + c ⇒ f(0) = a + c = 3
but the cosine case is impossible since a = 7.
So, the given function has equation
f(x) = 7 sin(4x) + 3
Answer:
x=Sin-1(0.470584)
x=28.1°
Step-by-step explanation:
Sin90°/17 =Sin x°/8
0.058823 = Sin x°/8
8(0.058823)=Sin x°
x°=Sin-1(0.470584)
x=28.1°
Add up the number of students within the random sample data:
32+26+28+22 = 108
We can then use proportional fractions / cross-multiply to answer the question.
In a sample size of 108 students, 32 of them preferred Movie A.
There are 900 students in total.
32*900 = 28800
108*x = 108x
108x = 28800
x = 
or 
In decimal form that is approximately 266.667 and round that to the nearest whole number, you get 267 students who would prefer Movie A.
470000 is the most reasonable
