Answer:

EXAMPLE

Pete bought a shirt on sale for $

18

18, which is one-half the original price. What was the original price of the shirt?

Solution:

Step 1. Read the problem. Make sure you understand all the words and ideas. You may need to read the problem two or more times. If there are words you don’t understand, look them up in a dictionary or on the Internet.

In this problem, do you understand what is being discussed? Do you understand every word?

Step 2. Identify what you are looking for. It’s hard to find something if you are not sure what it is! Read the problem again and look for words that tell you what you are looking for!

In this problem, the words “what was the original price of the shirt” tell you what you are looking for: the original price of the shirt.

Step 3. Name what you are looking for. Choose a variable to represent that quantity. You can use any letter for the variable, but it may help to choose one that helps you remember what it represents.

Let

p

=

p= the original price of the shirt

Step 4. Translate into an equation. It may help to first restate the problem in one sentence, with all the important information. Then translate the sentence into an equation.

Step 5. Solve the equation using good algebra techniques. Even if you know the answer right away, using algebra will better prepare you to solve problems that do not have obvious answers.

Write the equation.

Step 3. Name what you are looking for. Choose a variable to represent that quantity. You can use any letter for the variable, but it may help to choose one that helps you remember what it represents.

Let

p

=

p= the original price of the shirt

Simplify.

36=pStep 6. Check the answer in the problem and make sure it makes sense.

We found that

p

=

36

p=36, which means the original price was

$36

$36. Does

$36

$36 make sense in the problem? Yes, because

18

18 is one-half of

36

36, and the shirt was on sale at half the original price.Step 7. Answer the question with a complete sentence.

The problem asked “What was the original price of the shirt?” The answer to the question is: “The original price of the shirt was

$36

$36.”

Write the equation of a sine or cosine function to describe the graph.
juin [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a trigonometric function is

y = a  \sin(bx + c) + d

or

y = a \: cos(bx + c)  + d

Let define some variables,

D is the midline, this refers to the midpoint of the highest y value and lowest y value. Some textbooks call it the vertical translations but it is the same thing.

A is the amplitude. The amplitude is the distance from the midline to the highest y value. Some distance is non negative, the formula for the amplitude is

|a|

The period is how often the wave repeats itself on a interval.

Period can't be negative so the formula for period is

\frac{2 \pi}{ |b| }

To find the period, look at the extreme points.

The phase shift tells us if the sinusoid have been shifted to the right or left. The formula for the phase shift

bx + c = 0

Solving for x gives us

x =  \frac{  - c}{b}

If our x is negative, we have a phase shift to the right

If our x is Positve, we have a phase shift to the left.

Let solve this equation, Let use Sine since sin(0)=0,

The smallest y value here is 0, and the highest is 2, so the amplitude is 1.

d = 1

Next, the distance from the max to the midline is 1, as well the min to the midline is also 1.

So

a = 1

We have minimum at 0, and 8, so our period is 8.

\frac{2\pi}{b}  = 8

Solve for b,

\frac{\pi}{4}  = b

Plug this in the equation.

1 \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} x)  +

y =  \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} x)  + 1

The graph passes through (4,2) so let see if that holds true for our equation

2 =  \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} (4))  + 1

2 =  \sin(\pi)  + 1

2 = 0 + 1

2 = 1

This doesn't hold true, so we must have a phase shift

Notice that

\sin( \frac{\pi}{2} )  = 1

So if we shift this pi/2 to the right, we can get our equation to be true.

y =  \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} x -  \frac{\pi}{2} )  + 1

This equation works so our equation is

y =  \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} x -  \frac{\pi}{2} )  + 1
