Answer:

The sinusoidal function that model the depth in terms of time, 'x', is presented here as follows;

f(x) = 39·sin((π/3)·x - π) + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A sinusoidal function is given by the general function as follows;

y = A·sin(B·x + C) + D

Where;

A = The amplitude = (y_{max} - y_{min})/2 = (The high tide - The low tide)/2 = (83 ft. - 5 ft.)/2 = 39 ft.

The period, T = 2·π/b = 6 hours

∴ B = 2·π/T = 2·π/6 = π/3

D = The vertical shift = The low tide = 5 ft.

The horizontal phase shift, 'C', is given as follows;

3 hrs = -C/B = -C/(π/(3 hr))

C = 3 hrs × -(π/(3 hr)) = -π

∴ C = -π

y = 39·sin((π/3)·x - π) + 5

The sinusoidal function that model the depth in terms of time, 'x', is therefore given as follows;

f(x) = 39·sin((π/3)·x - π) + 5

Raju covers a certain distance in 1 hour and sham covers the same distance in 2 hours , who travels in a higher speed?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: Raju travels at a higher speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed =\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Speed inversely proportional to time.

As time taken to cover a particular distance decreases the speed will increase.

Raju covers a certain distance in 1 hour.

Sham covers the same distance in 2 hours.

1< 2

Thus Raju travels at a higher speed.

Evaluate the function f(x)=x^2+6x+2 at the given values of the independent variable and simplify.
____ [38]

Answer:

a) 18

b)x^2+10x+18

c)x^2 -6x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a case of plugging in the value into f(x).

a) f(-8)= -8^2 + 6(-8) +2

f(-8)= 64 + (-48) +2

f(-8)=64 + (-46)

f(-8)=18

b)  f(x+2)= (x+2)^2+6(x+2)+2

So here I'll take a break to explain what's going on, because x+2 is a binomial meaning two terms and it is being squared I have to multiply the whole thing by itself. Meaning: (x+2) x (x+2), this is also known as foiling!! and for the next part its distributing 6 into x and 2.

    f(x+2)= x^2+4x+4+6x+12+2

I'll reorder it

 f(x+2)= x^2+4x+6x+12+2+4

    f(x+2)= x^2+10x+18

c) f(-x)= -x^2+6(-x) +2

f(-x)= x^2 -6x+2

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1 is represented by a solid point on a number line.

x > 1 is represented by an arrow starting from x = 1 towards infinity

If we mix both the properties, x ≥ will be represented by an arrow starting from a solid point at x = 1 and moving towards the values greater than one.

From the options given,

Arrow mentioned in Option (2) will be the correct representation of the inequality.

IM having trouble trying to solve this problem
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

You would have approximately 201 insects.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the final population of the insects, you need to first insert the values of each variable you know into the equation. The initial population at time t=0 would be 100 insects, the rate of population growth coverted to decimal form would be 0.1, and the elapsed time since time t=0 is 7 days. Now the new equation would be P = 100(e)^{0.1*7}.

   P = 100(e)^{0.1*7}

⇒ P ≈ 100 * 2.01

⇒ P ≈ 201

You will have 201 insects in 7 days (rounded to the nearest insect).
