Answer:

The question is incomplete, I assume that we want to write an equation that defines the position (or distance) between the tip of the second hand of the clock and the ceiling.

We know that:

The center of the clock is 14.5 in below the ceiling.

The radius of the clock is 6 inches.

So, a general cosine equation is written as:

f(x) = A*sin(w*t) + M

where:

A = amplitude, in this case, is equal to the radius of the clock

w = angular frequency

t = time in seconds

M = midline (the oscillation is around this point), in this case, would be the distance between the center of the clock and the ceiling, because the clock is 14.5 inches below the ceiling, we can write this as M = -14.5 in

Replacing these two in the equation we have:

f(t) = 6in*cos(w*t) - 14,5in

Now, we know that at t = 0s the tip of the second hand of the clock is in its most high point, so at t = 0 we have the maximum, this is why we used a cosine function, because the maximum of the cosine function is at:

cos(0) = 1

We also know that the minimum will be at t = 30 seconds (when the tip of the second hand is in the bottom part of the clock)

then we need to have:

cos(w*30s) = -1

Remember that:

cos(pi) = -1

then:

w*30s = pi

solving for w, we get:

w = pi/30s

Then the equation for the distance between the tip of the second hand of the clock and the ceiling is:

f(t) = 6in*cos(t*pi/30s) - 14.5 in

Tresset [83]
Take a quadratic equation in standard form:
If there exists a sum of two numbers that equal b, whose addends produce a product that equals c. You can rewrite the quadratic as a product of two binomials.


For example take
When thought through throughly, -5 had addends, -2 and -3 that produce 6 when multiplied
Thus, we can rewrite the quadratic as.

Find the amount paid for the loan.<br><br> $2000 at 12% for 3 years
Free_Kalibri [48]
They paid $720

Here's why:
The formula to this is Interest = Principal x Rate x Time or i = prt
Principal = $2000
Rate = 12%
Time = 3 years
2000 x .12 x 3 = i PEMDAS
2000 x .12 = 240
240 x 3 = 720
i = $720

Do 2 or more shapes with the same perimeter have to have the same area? Explain with examples. AND Do 2 or more shapes with the
Murljashka [212]
Yes. Take for example a square and an ellipsis with the same perimeter. The family of ellipses with the same perimeter can have any area between that of a circle to zero (if it is extremely “thin” i.e. if its eccentricity is large). The circle has the maximum area of any other shape with the same perimeter, so the square has the same area of one of the intermediate ellipses.
