Answer:

  t ∈ {19, 85, 109, 175, 199}

or

  t ∈ {40, 64, 130, 154, 220}

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator relieves the tedium of solving for t. The attachments show the times the satellite is 4000 miles from the equator. Since y may be either north or south, the satellite may be 4000 north of the equator for y = 4000 or for y = -4000.

__

If y is miles <em>north</em> of the equator, then ...

  4000 = 6000cos(z) . . . . . where z=(π/45)(t-7)

  z = arccos(4000/6000) ≈ 0.84107 radians

There is another solution at 2π -0.84107 radians, about 5.44212 radians

The corresponding time values are ...

  t = 7 +(45/π)(z) ≈ 19.047 and 84.953 . . . . minutes

The period of the function is 90 minutes, the times will be the above times and at 90-minute intervals after each.

The satellite is 4000 miles north of the equator at ...

  t ≈ 19, 85, 109, 175, 199 . . . minutes after launch

__

The solution is similar if y represents miles <em>south</em> of the equator. Then we have ...

  -4000 = 6000cos(z)

  z = arccos(-4000/6000) ≈ 2.30052 radians (and 3.98266 radians)

The corresponding time values are ...

  t = 7 +(45/π)(z) ≈ 39.952 and 64.047 . . . . minutes

Again, considering the period, the satellite is 4000 miles north of the equator at ...

  t ≈ 40, 64, 130, 154, 220 . . . minutes after launch

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

We might usually think of y as being positive in the northerly direction. However, in this age of political correctness and bias sensitivity, we have to consider that "y is north or south" means exactly that. So, we have also shown the solutions when y is positive south of the equator.

Usually, we prefer that the variables are defined unambiguously.

Yvonne wants to cover the back of her smartphone with a decorative pattern. If the phone's length is 1/2 foot and width is 1/6 f
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

1/12 square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the pattern = LEngth * Width

Given the following

Length = 1/2 foot

Width = 1/6 foot

Area of the pattern = 1/2 * 1/6

Area of the pattern  =1/12 square foot

Hence the area that the decorative pattern will cover will be 1/12 square foot

The graph below plots the values of y for different values of x: (look at graph picture)
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

A: x and y have a strong, positive correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficient measures the relation between   two variable.

it signifies how the value of one variable will change when the change in other variable is made.

Its value ranges from 0 to 1

  1. 0 represent no relation
  2. 1 represent strong relation

thus, as value increases from 0 to 1 , correlation strength increases.

Correlation coefficient can be negative and positive

  1. negative relation signifies that as value of one variable increases then the value of other will decrease and vice-versa
  2. positive relation signifies that as value of one variable increases then the value of other will also increase and vice versa

Given, that correlation coefficient between x and y  is  0.9

since there is no negative sign it means there is positive correlation

value is 0.9

as 0.9 is nearer to  1, it is clear that relation is strong.

based on above discussion

option A

 x and y have a strong, positive correlation is correct answer

If we look at graph we can see that as x increases y also increases.

the rate of increase of value of y in response of x is also high.

Thus, graph also shows that there is strong positive correlation
