Answer:

(1 cm)cos3πt

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the piston starts at its maximal height and returns to its maximal height three times evert 2 seconds, it is modelled by a cosine functions, since a cosine function starts at its maximum point. So, its height h = Acos2πft

where A = amplitude of the oscillation and f = frequency of oscillation and t = time of propagation of oscillation.

Now, since the piston rises in such a way that it returns to the maximal height three times every two seconds, its frequency, f = number of oscillations/time taken for oscillation where number of oscillations = 3 and time taken for oscillations  = 2 s

So, f = 3/2 s =1.5 /s = 1.5 Hz

Also, since the the piston moves between 3 cm and 5 cm, the distance between its maximum displacement(crest) of 5 cm and minimum displacement(trough) of 3 cm is H = 5 cm - 3 cm = 2 cm. So its amplitude, A = H/2 = 2 cm/2 = 1 cm

h = Acos2πft

= (1 cm)cos2π(1.5Hz)t

= (1 cm)cos3πt

If P(x,y) is the point on the unit circle defined by real number e, then csce =
olasank [31]

Answer:

csc(e) = \frac{1}{y}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the point P(x, y) lies on the unit circle and is defined by real number e. We have to find csc(e) i.e cosecant of (e)

This scenario is represented in the figure attached below.

The formula of csc is:

csc(\theta) = \frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Opposite}}

A right angled triangle is constructed, as shown in figure. The hypotenuse of the triangle forms the radius of the circle. Since, the circle is a unit circle the length of hypotenuse would be equal to 1.

Hypotenuse = 1

So, the formula of csc would be reduced to:

csc(e) = \frac{1}{\text{Opposite}}

The side opposite to the angle made at origin is y. So,

csc(e) = \frac{1}{y}
