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.

What equation represents a parabola that opens UP with the vertex at 2,4
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

  y = (x -2)^2 +4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is ...

  y = a(x -h)^2 +k

for vertex (h, k) and vertical scale factor "a". When a > 0, the parabola opens upward.

One equation for your parabola could be ...

  y = (x -2)^2 +4

__

In standard form this one is ...

  y = x^2 -4x +8
