A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 380 feet and the center of the wheel is 195 feet above the ground. The wheel makes a complete t

urn every 4 minutes. Write a cosine function to express the height h (in feet) of a passenger on the wheel as a function of time t (in minutes), given that the passenger is at the lowest point on the wheel when t

Answer:

<u><em>y = -190 cos(π t / 120) + 195</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>General form of a sinusoidal function: y = A cos(Bt - C) + D </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Now generally a cosine function starts at the maximum value, so to start at the minimum value, flip the cosine function by making it negative. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>A is the amplitude of the curve and will be the radius of the ferris wheel. Therefore, A = 380 / 2 = 190 feet. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> 2π / B is the period of the curve and will be the time to complete one full rotation. The time to complete one full rotation is given as 4 minutes. Convert this into seconds to get period = 4 minutes * (60 seconds / minute) = 240 seconds. Therefore, B = 2π / period = 2π / 240 seconds = π / 120. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> C/B is the phase shift, or horizontal shift of the graph. Since the negative cosine function already starts at the minimum value, there is no phase shift so C/B = 0, meaning C = 0. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> D is the vertical shift and will be the height of the center of the ferris wheel. Therefore, D = 195 feet. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> Your final function will be:</em>

<u><em>y = -190 cos(π t / 120) + 195</em></u>

What’s the value of DCB?<br> Pls help
amm1812

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

angle ACD + angle DCB = 180   (Angles on straight line)

4x + 2 + 3x + 3 = 180

7x + 5 = 180

7x = 180-5

7x = 175

x = 175 / 7

x = 25

angle DCB = 3x +3 = 3*25 + 3 = 75 +3 = 78

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Randomized block design

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can see the following:

- There are 30 plants of each variety. This means that they are divided into variety subgroups which we will call blocks.

- Now, we are told each plant in each block all are potted in the same amount and type of soil, given the same amount of water, and exposed to the same amount of light. This means that each plant in each block is assigned a treatment condition.

- The procedure is repeated by subjecting each plant one after the other in teach Block to different treatments and this will reduce variability.

Looking at all the statements above, it is clear that this is a randomized block design because a randomized block design is when the experimenter/researcher divides members/participants into subgroups called blocks in a manner that the variability within the blocks is less than the variability between the blocks. Thereafter, the participants within each block will now be randomly assigned to treatment conditions.
