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

If a rectangle is 30 feet long and the perimeter is 78 feet. What would be the width of the rectangle?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The width should be 9 feet in this situation

Step-by-step explanation:

(30 x 2) + (9 x 2) =

60 + 18 =

78 ft

Or

78 - (30 X 2) =

78 - 60 =

18 / 2 =

9

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

C, 8,634.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with 8,591.69

2.51% of 8,591.69 is 215.651419

subtract that from 8,591.69 and you get 8376.038581

3.09% of 8376.038581 is 258.819592153

258.819592153+8376.038581=8634.85817315

8,634.86 is your final answer
