Answer:

The required equation is y=0.5\cos (\frac{\pi t}{6})+9.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the height, h, in feet of the tip of the hour hand of a wall clock varies from 9 feet to 10 feet. It means the minimum height is 9 feet and the maximum height is 10.

At x=0 is 12:00 a.m, it means the function is maximum at x=0. So, the general equation is defined as

y=a\cos(\omega t)+b

Where, a is amplitude, w is period, t is time in hours and b is midline.

Midline is the average of minimum and maximum height.

b=\frac{9+10}{2}=9.5

Amplitude is the distance of maximum of minimum value from midline.

a=10-9.5=0.5

Now, the equation can be written as

y=0.5\cos(wt)+9.5                      .... (1)

At t = 0 is 12:00 a.m, so t=3 is 3:00 a.m and the y=9.5 at x=3.

9.5=0.5\cos(3w)+9.5

\cos(3w)=0

\cos(3w)=\cos(\frac{\pi}{2})

3w=\frac{\pi}{2}

w=\frac{\pi}{6}

Substitute this value in equation (1).

y=0.5\cos (\frac{\pi t}{6})+9.5

Therefore the required equation is y=0.5\cos (\frac{\pi t}{6})+9.5.

Y=Acos(p)+m, A=amplitude, p=period, m=midline, in this case:

A=1/2, p=360(t/12)=30t, m=(10-9)/2+9=9.5 so

h(t)=(1/2)cos(30t)+9.5

Here is a rectangle.
NISA [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the area of rectangle with given points are as follows :

A(-3,3)

B(3,2)

C(4,-1) = C( x1,y1)

D(-2,-3) = D( x2, y2)

Now,

  1. The distance of CD = root under

(x2-x)^2 +( y2 - y1)^2

= root under (-2-4)^2 + ( -3+1)^2

= root under (-6)^2 + (-2)^2

= root under 36 + 4

= root under 40

= 2root 10

Therefore; the unit number if CD is 2 root 10.

Determine the following<br>quadratic equations have real<br>roots<br><br>1) 3x² - √2x-√3​
IceJOKER [234]

Step-by-step explanation:

√3 x² - 2x - √3 = 0

√3 x² - 3x + x - √3 = 0

√3 x(x - √3) + 1(x - √3) = 0

(x - √3 ) (√3 x + 1) = 0

x - √3 = 0 , √3 x +1 = 0

x = √3 , x = -1/√3

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.
nlexa [21]

Answer:

x = 14.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine rule

\frac{a}{sin(A)}  = \frac{b}{sin(B)}  = \frac{c}{sin(C)}

Substitute the given values.

\frac{7}{sin(20)}  = \frac{x}{sin(46)}

Rearrange the equation to get x on it's own.

\frac{7sin(46)}{sin(20)}  = x

x = 14.72246211

x = 14.7 (1dp)
