Answer:
y = 5cos(πx/4) +11
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius is 5 ft, so that will be the multiplier of the trig function.
The car starts at the top of the wheel, so the appropriate trig function is cosine, which is 1 (its maximum value) when its argument is zero.
The period is 8 seconds, so the argument of the cosine function will be 2π(x/8) = πx/4. This changes by 2π when x changes by 8.
The centerline of the wheel is the sum of the minimum and the radius, so is 6+5 = 11 ft. This is the offset of the scaled cosine function.
Putting that all together, you get
... y = 5cos(π/4x) + 11
_____
The answer selections don't seem to consistently identify the argument of the trig function properly. We assume that π/4(x) means (πx/4), where this product is the argument of the trig function.
I think the answer is Parallel.
Answer:
Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1: 1.5), then multiply 150 by 1.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
A child is hopping along a sidewalk. The ratio table below shows the comparison between the number of hops and the distance traveled. Hopping Number of hops Distance traveled (ft) 20 30 50 75 80 120 150 ?
Which statement correctly explains how to find the distance traveled after 150 hops? Subtract 120 – 75 to get 45, then add that number to 120. Add 30 + 75 + 120. Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1:1.5), then multiply 150 by 1.5. Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1:1.5), then divide 150 by 1.5.
Solution:
The table is:
No. of hops Distance traveled
20 30
50 75
80 120
150 ?
From the table, for every 30 increase in the number of hops, the distance travelled increase by 45 feet
Find the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m=slope of the line
y2-y1 = change in distance travelled
x-2 - x1 = Change in number of hops
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (75-30) / (50-20)
=45 / 30
m = 1.5
Then, the line is:
y = 1.5x
We substitute x = 150
y = 1.5x
y = 1.5 × 150
y = 225
Answer: 3x + 1 is an expression that is simplified as much as it can be. Therefore, either your question is incomplete or it's a trick question. If so, then the answer is 3x + 1.
