Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation: Because I got it wrong and it said it said it was A
You can do 4 to the second power and 4×4 equals 16
-t-3 and 3-t are not the same since t-3 would result in a negative answer since both -t and -3 are negative. While in t-3 t is positive and -3 is negative. it is wrong if its left as t-3 since -t-3=3-t is false.
Answer:
y = 5cos(πx/4) +11
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius is 5 ft, so that will be the multiplier of the trig function.
The car starts at the top of the wheel, so the appropriate trig function is cosine, which is 1 (its maximum value) when its argument is zero.
The period is 8 seconds, so the argument of the cosine function will be 2π(x/8) = πx/4. This changes by 2π when x changes by 8.
The centerline of the wheel is the sum of the minimum and the radius, so is 6+5 = 11 ft. This is the offset of the scaled cosine function.
Putting that all together, you get
... y = 5cos(π/4x) + 11
_____
The answer selections don't seem to consistently identify the argument of the trig function properly. We assume that π/4(x) means (πx/4), where this product is the argument of the trig function.
