The two negative (-) signs cancel out.
In this case, when the signs cancel out, we get:
-6 + 2
And that’s how you get the answer -4

(Pretty much: -6 - (-2) is equal to -6 + 2. Both of which equal -4)

Total Distance = 3Ft

a) Determine the amplitude and period of a sinusoidal function that models the bobbing buoy.

Amplitude = 3/2 = 1.5 period = 10 second

$\frac{0}{1} =\frac{2\pi }{b}$ $b=\frac{\pi }{5}$ No ph. Shift

b) Write an equation of a function that models the buoy with x=0 at its highest point.

y= 1.5 cos ( $\frac{\pi }{5} x$ )

Jennifer and Kamlee are walking to school. After 20 minutes, Jennifer has walked 4/5 miles. After 25 minutes, Kamlee has walked

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Jennifer's speed is 2.4 miles/hour

Kamlee's speed is 2 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To find their speed,

Speed can be determined from the formula below,

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

Also, to determine the speed in miles per hour (miles/hour), we will convert the time spent by each of them to hour (NOTE: 60 minutes = 1 hour)

For Jennifer,

Distance = 4/5 miles

Time = 20 mins (Convert to hour)

∴Time = (20/60) hour = 1/3 hour

Hence,

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

$Speed = \frac{4/5 miles}{1/3hour}$

$Speed = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{1}$

$Speed = \frac{12}{5}$

$Speed = 2.4 miles/hour$

Hence, Jennifer's speed is 2.4 miles/hour

For Kamlee,

Distance = 5/6 miles

Time = 25 minutes (Convert to hour)

Time = (25/60) hour = 5/12 hour

Hence,

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

$Speed = \frac{5/6miles}{5/12 hour}$

$Speed = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{12}{5}$

$Speed = 2 miles/hour$

Hence, Kamlee's speed is 2 miles/hour
