A Ferris wheel has a 44-foot radius and the center of the Ferris wheel is 50 feet above the ground. The Ferris wheel rotates in

the CCW direction at a constant angular speed of 3 radians per minute. Josh boards the Ferris wheel at the 3-o'clock position and rides the Ferris wheel for many rotations. Let tt represent the number of minutes since the ride started.
Write an expression (in terms of t) to represent the number of radians Josh has swept out from the 3-o'clock position since the ride started.

Answer:

Part A

The expression in terms of 't' representing the number of radians Josh has swept since the ride started is 3·t rad

Part B

The time to complete one revolution is (2·π/3) minutes

Part C.

The function 'f' that determines Josh's height above the ground (in feet) in terms of 't' is, f(t) = 44·sin(3·t + π/2) + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the Ferris wheel = 44 foot

The height of the Ferris wheel above the ground = 50 feet

The direction of rotation of the Ferris wheel = CCW

The angular speed of the Ferris wheel, ω = 3 radians per minute

The position from which Josh boards the Ferris wheel = 3-O'Clock

The number of minutes since the ride started started = t

Part A

The expression in terms of 't' to represent the number of radians Josh has swept since the ride started = ω × t = 3 × t rad = 3·t rad

Part B

One complete revolution = 2·π radians

The time to complete one revolution = 2·π/ω = 2·π/(3 rad/minute) = (2·π/3) minutes =  0.\overline{6}·π minutes ≈ 2.0943951 minutes

Part C.

The height, 'h', of the Ferris wheel is given by the following sinusoidal relation

f(t) = A·sin(B·t + C) + D

Where;

A = The amplitude = The radius of the Ferris wheel = 44 ft.

The period, T = (2·π/3) minute

B = 2·π/T = 3

t = The time in minutes

D = The Ferris wheel's height above ground = 50 ft.

C = The horizontal shift = π/2 (Josh boards the Ferris wheel at t = 3-O'Clock which is the midline, a rotation of π/2 from the lowermost end of the Ferris wheel)

Therefore the function that determines Josh's height above the ground (in feet) in terms of 't' is presented as follows;

f(t) = 44·sin(3·t + π/2) + 50

What is 1/4 + 2/4 <br> Good luck
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}=\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate:

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}

Since the fractions have a common denominator, so we can simply add the numerators keeping the denominator as it is.

⇒ \frac{1+2}{4}

⇒ \frac{3}{4}

Alex777 [14]

As shown in the question, the translation changes the points as follows:

(x,y)\rightarrow(x+2,y-2)

Therefore:

\begin{gathered} C(-5,-1)\rightarrow C^{\prime}(-3,-3) \\ D(-4,3)\rightarrow D^{\prime}(-2,1) \\ E(-3,2)\rightarrow E^{\prime}(-1,0) \\ F(-2,0)\rightarrow F^{\prime}(0,-2) \end{gathered}

Which function represents the number of seconds, s, in d days? (Hint: The number seconds in a day is 24 × 60 × 60 = 86,400.)
vaieri [72.5K]
<em>f(d)=86,400·d</em>
if you set 1 day (d=1) you get f(1)=86,400 sec
if you set 1 day (d=2) you get f(2)=172,800 sec
...etc.

Which of the following is correct? Multiple Choice When the sample size increases, both α and β may decrease. Type II error can
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

(A) When the sample size increases, both α and β may decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following is correct?

(A) This option is right.

When a sample's size increases, the values for alpha and beta may decrease; if and only if sample size is the denominator in the slope equation (in each case) and the numerator stays the same (that is, ceteris paribus; all other things being equal). The larger the denominator, the smaller the slope value for alpha and beta.

(B) This option is wrong

Type 2 error can only occur when you fail to reject a true H0

(C) This option is wrong

Type 1 error can only occur if or when you don't reject a false H0

(D) This option is wrong

The level of significance is the probability of a Type 1 error, not the probability of a Type 2 error.
