The right fraction represents the percentage; 42 over 100 (100 is the total), or 0.42.
The left fraction is the part number over the whole number. The whole number is unknown, so we use 'x'.
Your answer is 75.
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.
Answer:
22.9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
You are using Tangent because you have the opposite and adjacent sides
Tan 5 = 2/x
x Tan 5= 2
x= 2/Tan5
= 22.860
