Hitman42 [59]

Lamaj rides his bike over a piece of gum and continues riding his bike at a constant rate. At time = 1.25 seconds, the gum is at a maximum height above the ground and 1 second later the gum is on the ground again.

a. If the diameter of the wheel is 68 cm, write an equation that models the height of the gum in centimeters above the ground at any time, t, in seconds.

b. What is the height of the gum when Lamaj gets to the end of the block at t = 15.6 seconds?

c. When are the first and second times the gum reaches a height of 12 cm?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

We are being told that:

Lamaj rides his bike over a piece of gum and continues riding his bike at a constant rate. This keeps the wheel of his bike in Simple Harmonic Motion and the Trigonometric equation that models the height of the gum in centimeters above the ground at any time, t, in seconds. can be written as:

$\mathbf {y = 34cos (\pi (t-1.25))+34}$

where;

y = is the height of the gum at a given time (t) seconds

34 = amplitude of the motion

the amplitude of the motion was obtained by finding the middle between the highest and lowest point on the cosine graph.

$\mathbf{ \pi}$ = the period of the graph

1.25 = maximum vertical height stretched by 1.25 m to the horizontal

b) From the equation derived above;

if we replace t with 1.56 seconds ; we can determine the height of the gum when Lamaj gets to the end of the block .

So;

$\mathbf {y = 34cos (\pi (15.6-1.25))+34}$

$\mathbf {y = 34cos (\pi (14.35))+34}$

$\mathbf {y = 34cos (45.08)+34}$

$\mathbf{y = 58.01}$

Thus, the gum is at 58.01 cm from the ground at t = 15.6 seconds.

c)

When are the first and second times the gum reaches a height of 12 cm

This indicates the position of y; so y = 12 cm

From the same equation from (a); we have :

$\mathbf {y = 34 cos(\pi (t-1.25))+34}$

$\mathbf{12 = 34 cos ( \pi(t-1.25))+34}$

$\dfrac {12-34}{34} = cos (\pi(t-1.25))$

$\dfrac {-22}{34} = cos(\pi(t-1.25))$

$2.27 = (\pi (t-1.25)$

t = 2.72 seconds

Similarly, replacing cosine in the above equation with sine; we have:

$\mathbf {y = 34 sin (\pi (t-1.25))+34}$

$\mathbf{12 = 34 sin ( \pi(t-1.25))+34}$

$\dfrac {12-34}{34} = sin (\pi(t-1.25))$

$\dfrac {-22}{34} = sin (\pi(t-1.25))$

$-0.703 = (\pi(t-1.25))$

t = 2.527 seconds

Hence, the gum will reach 12 cm first at 2.527 sec and second time at 2.72 sec.

the cost of printing a store flyer is 440 for 1000 copies and 880 for 2000 copies. write a linear equation for modeling this dat

Anna35 [415]

Since they tell us that this is linear, having a constant rate of change, we can express this as a line:

y=mx+b, where m=slope (change in y divided by change in x) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)

First find the slope, or m, which mathematically is:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), in this case:

m=(880-440)/(2000-1000)

m=440/1000

m=0.44, so far our line is:

y=0.44x+b, now we can use either data point to solve for b, I'll use (1000,440)

440=0.44(1000)+b

440=440+b

0=b, so our line is just:

y=0.44x

A certain electronics manufacturer found that the average cost C to produce x DVD/Blu- ray players can be found using the equati

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Minimum average cost = 743.75

Number of dvds to achieve the cost = 62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost equation

C = 0.04x² − 5x + 900

To Obtian the minimum average cost ;

Find dc/dx = 0

Diffentiate cost, c it ith respect to x

dc/dx = 2(0.04x) - 5

dc/dx = 0.08x - 5 = 0

0.08x = 5

x = 5 / 0.08

x = 62.5

Substitute the value of x into C to obtain the minimum average cost

C = 0.04(62.5)² - 5(62.5) + 900

C = 743.75

Express 24.357 in words.<br> Write the expanded form using fractions or decimals.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Twenty-four and three hundred fifty-seven thousandths.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expanded form of 24.357 in decimals is 24.3757 because it is already in it's decimal form.

The expanded form of 24.357 in fractions is 24.357. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction: $\frac{24357}{1000}$ .
