You have to make a cos graph that starts its minimum and of -2, has an amplitude of 10, a period of 10 and  a maximum of 18.
I decided to use a cos graph since cos graphs start at their minimum or maximum unlike a sine graph that starts halfway between the minimum and maximum.  You also know the amplitude has to be 10 since 18+2=20 and 20/2=10.  We were also told that the water wheel completels a rotation every 10 minutes which means the period is 10 minutes.

lets start of with a regular cos(x) graph.  This starts on its maximum instead of minimum so we have to multiply it by -1 to get -cos(x) which does start on its minimum.

-cos(x) has an amplitude of 1 instead of 10, to fix that we multiply it by 10 to get -10cos(x) which has an amplitude of 10.
 
-10cos(x) has a period of 2π instead of 10, to fix this we multiply the x by 2π/10 to get -10cos((π/5)x) which now has a period of 10.

-10cos((π/5)x) has a minimum of -10 and maximum of 10 instead of a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18, to fix this we add 8 to -10cos((π/5)x) to get -10cos((π/5)x)+8 which does have a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18.

Therefore the answer is y=-10cos((π/5)x)+8. x being time in minutes and and y being the height in feet.  

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

C) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle (two of the three angles are equal) so two of the sides are also equal. x is the same length as 15.

Find the mode of the following data set.
ivolga24 [154]
The mode is the number that shows up the most.

In the dataset, note that the stem should be in the tens place, and the different number of leaves are in the ones place.

62 shows up one more time than all the other numbers, and so 62 is your answer.


Hope this helps

Find difference 7 7/8-3 1/4
umka2103 [35]
So first convert to improper fractions
7 and 7/8=7+7/8=56/8+7/8=63/8

3 and 1/4=3+1/4=12/4+1/4=13/4

so nowe we have
63/8+13/4
convert bottom number to same
which is 8
13/4 times 2/2=26/8
now we have
63/8-26/8=37/8=4 and 5/8
answer is 4 and 5/8
