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.

(xy + 9y + 2) and (xy – 3)
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

x^2y^2 +9xy^2-xy-27y-6

Step-by-step explanation:

(xy+9y+2) (xy-3)

Each term of second bracket will be multiplied with the terms of first bracket

= xy(xy+9y+2) -3(xy+9y+2)

= x^2y^2+9xy^2+2xy-3xy-27y-6

=x^2y^2+9xy^2-xy-27y-6

Kiara and Mia went to a county fair. They each paid the same admission fee but they were in a different number of rides. Each ri
aliya0001 [1]

let's take admission fee= z

8z+11z=17.50+21.25

19z=38.75

z=38.25/19

z=2.4 (aprox)

Or In case of Kiara 17.50 amount paid in 8 rides

.so 1 ride=17.50/8

=2.1875

same In case of mia

so 1 ride=21.25/11

=1.9318. 

but, they are not match so there is problem in your Questions.
