Answer:
311.41 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
If 4 sin Ф = -3 and Ф is between 0 and 360 degrees, then we conclude that Ф must be either in Quadrant III or Quadrant IV (because the sine is negative).
Let's assume we're in Quadrant IV. Then sin Ф = opp / hyp = -3/4; that is, the opp side is negative and has length 3, and the hypo is positive 4.
According to the Pythagorean Theorem, (-3)^2 + x^2 = 4^2, or,
x^2 = 16 - 9 = 7.
Then x is either √7 or -√7.
To find the angle Ф, use the inverse sine function:
Ф = arcsin (-3/4). Using a calculator we get the angle -40.59 degrees, which corresponds to (360 degrees - 40.59 degrees), or 311.41 degrees. We can check this by finding the sine of 311.41 degrees; the result is -0.75, which matches "If 4sintheta = -3."
If the parabola has y = -4 at both x = 2 and x = 3, then since a parabola is symmetric, its axis of symmetry must be between x = 2 and x = 3, or at x = 5/2. Our general equation can then be:
y = a(x - 5/2)^2 + k
Substitute (1, -2): -2 = a(-3/2)^2 + k
-2 = 9a/4 + k
Substitute (2, -4): -4 = a(-1/2)^2 + k
-4 = a/4 + k
Subtracting: 2 = 2a, so a = 1. Substituting back gives k = -17/4.
So the equation is y = (x - 5/2)^2 - 17/4
Expanding: y = x^2 - 5x + 25/4 - 17/4
y = x^2 - 5x + 2 (This is the standard form.)
Answer:
w = .5
Step-by-step explanation:
-4w + 18w+2=10 -6w
14w + 2 -2 = 10 -2 -6w
14w + 2w = 8 - 2w + 2w
16w = 8
16w/16 = 8/16
w = .5
