<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

x = number of years

y = height in feet

The equation for the first tree is

y = x+3

The slope is 1 to represent a rate of 1 ft per year of growth. The y intercept of 3 is the starting height. Refer to y = mx+b form.

For the second tree, the equation is:

y = 0.5x+4

This time we have a slope of 0.5 and a y intercept of 4.

Apply substitution to solve for x

y = x+3

0.5x+4 = x+3

0.5x-x = 3-4

-0.5x = -1

x = -1/(-0.5)

x = 2

The trees will be the same height in <u>  2  </u> years.

What will that height be? Plug x = 2 into either equation to find y. We should get the same y value.

y = x+3

y = 2+3

y = 5

Or we could say

y = 0.5x+4

y = 0.5*2+4

y = 1+4

y = 5

We've shown that both equations lead to y = 5 when x = 2. This means that at the 2 year mark, both trees are 5 feet tall. This helps confirm we have the correct x value.

A cylinder and a cone have the same volume. The cylinder has radius x and height y. The cone has radius 1/3x. Find the height of
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The height of the cone h = 27(x^4)y

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we calculate the volume of the cylinder.

Mathematically, the volume of the cylinder is pi * r^2 * h

using the radius x and height y

The volume V of the cylinder is ;

V = pi * x^2 * y

Now we know they have the same volume V, the formula for the volume of a cone is ;

1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

Substituting the values of r to be 1/3x and the height which is not given here left as h, we have the volume of the cone to be;

V = 1/3 * pi * (1/3x)^2 * h = pi * x^2 * y

The pi gives way as it cancels out on both sides and we have the following;

h/27x^2 = x^2y

Mathematically h = x^2 * y * 27x^2

h = 27(x^4)y

p.s: I personally feel the radius of the cone was to be given as x/3 and not 1/3x . It is in that way we can have the height of the cone purely in y terms and no x

Write a cosine function that has an amplitude of 3, a midline of 2 and a period
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

f(x) = 3 cos  (2Pi / period value ; x  )+ 2

or see answer using 2 as the period see answer in bold below.

Step-by-step explanation:

cosine function amplitude of 3 is  A = 3

The period is used to find B

You need to show period value as the denominator and work out from there with 2PI as a function numerator to show as 2pi / period can be a data angle

C is the adding value.

Acos (Bx) + C

A = 3

Bx =  2 pi / period

C = + 2

However f 2 is also the period found

then we just plug in 2 to above formula

f(x) = 3 cos  (2Pi / 2 ; x  )+ 2

f(x) = 3cos (x pi) + 2
