5 : 8....added = 13
5/13(169) = 845/13 = 65 men
8/13(169) = 1352/13 = 104 women <===
C. f(x) = – 2 cos 6x + 1
Start by determining the amplitude. Since we've deduced the amplitude is 2, the equation can include either a positive or negative 2 (since amplitude measures absolute value).
Next is the period. The equation for period P is P = (2pi)/b. If P is pi/3, then
pi/3 = (2pi)/b. Thus your b value should be 6.
Finally, the midline would be given by + 1 since adding a unit shifts the function upwards. This means that instead of the highest y value being 2 and the lowest -2, instead you'd have values of 3 and -1.
(3 – 1)/2 = 1 (midpoint theory).
5 less (-5) than 1/3 of number (n/3) is (=) 2 more than (2+) half of the number (n/2)
-5+n/3=2+n/2
add 5 to both sides
n/3=n/2+7
times 6 both sides
2n=3n+42
minus 2n both sides
0=n+42
minus 42 boh sides
-42=n
the number is -42
the number is 18
D would be the right answer
