1. The following diagram shows part of the graph of y=p⋅sin(qx)+r. The point A (15, 2) is a maximum point and B(45, 1) is a mini

mum point. Find the value of p, q, and r.

Answer: y = (1/2)*sin(x*pi/30) + 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

y = p*sin(q*x) + r.

in this case, p is the amplitude, which is calculated as half of the difference between the value at the peak (the maximum) and the value at the troughs (the minimums).

q is related to the period

r is the mid value of the function, will be equal to the minimum plus the amplitude (or the maximum minus the amplitude).

We know that the maximum is (15, 2) (x = 15, y = 2)

We know that the minimum is (45, 1) (x = 45, y = 1)

Then the value of y at the peak is 2, and the value of y at the trough is 1.

This means that the amplitude is:

p = (2 - 1)/2 = (1/2)

And we know that r is equal to the minimum plus one time the amplitude, then:

r = 1 + 1/2 = 3/2.

Then, for now, our equation is:

y = (1/2)*sin(q*x) + 3/2.

Now we can use the information that  (15, 2) is a maximum.

We know that the maximum value of the function sin(x) is 1.

and it is when:

x = (pi/2) + n*2*pi   (where n is a whole number)

Then we must have that:

15*q = (pi/2) + n*2*pi

as this is periodic, we can define n = 0 and it will be the same.

15*q = pi/2

q = (pi/2)/15 = pi/30.

Now, let's test this with the minimum.

The minimum of the sin(x) function is when:

x = (3/2)*pi + k*2*pi (where k can be any whole number)

and we have a minimum at x = 45, then:

q*45 = (3/2)*pi + k*2*pi

(pi/30)*45 = (3/2)*pi + k*2*pi

(45/30) = (3/2) + k*2

3/2 = 3/2 + k*2

If we take k = 0, then the equality is true

Then q  = pi/30 is consistent.

So we can conclude that the equation is:

y = (1/2)*sin(x*pi/30) + 3/2

Olivia picked some peaches from her tree. She weighed each of the peaches. The results are shown in the line plot. What is the t
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Hello,

the above question requires more information for anyone to be able to answer.

In the abscence of that, the total weight of the two heaviest peaches can be obtained by simply summing the individual weights of the two heaviest peaches.

If for instance there are 13 peaches and the two heaviest peaches weight 5Kg and 5.5 kg respectively, the weight of the two would translate to the following:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 +5.5= 10.5Kg

Cheers!

Marcy can walk 12 blocks in 5 minutes. If each block is 50 feet long, how many feet will she walk during the 30 minutes that she
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

3600ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

12blocks x 50ft/block = 600 feet/5min.

30min/5min = 6

600 x 6 = 3600 ft.

Write an equation to find the missing side lenght. use ? for the number you do not know
Whitepunk [10]
There isn't enough information; however, let's say you were to find the missing side length of a rectangle. The perimeter is 52 and the two given side lengths are both 16. You would set up an equation to find the missing side lengths:
52 = 16 + 16 + ? + ?
52 = 32 + ? + ?
20 = ? + ?
Since this is a rectangle, the two other sides have to be equal. Therefore, you would divide the number by 2.
10 = ?

A fisherman can
viva [34]

Answer:

4 [miles].

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the condition 'the entire trip took 5 hours' can be written as (where t_us - time spent upstream, t_ds - time spent downstream)

t_{us}+t_{ds}=5;

2) but the distance [D] upstream is equal the distance downstream, then the condition above can be written:

\frac{D}{V_{us}} +\frac{D}{V_{ds}} =5; \ (V_{us}-rowing \ upstream,V_{ds}-rowing \ downstream);

3) finally,

D=\frac{5V_{us}*V_{ds}}{V_{us}+V_{ds}};

D=5*4/5=4 [miles].
