Question:
Howard is designing a chair swing ride. The swing ropes are 4 meters long, and in full swing they tilt in an angle of 23°. Howard wants the chairs to be 3.5 meters above the ground in full swing. How tall should the pole of the swing ride be? Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
7.18 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of rope, L = 4 m
Angle = 23°
Height of chair, H= 3.5 m
In this question, we are to asked to find the height of the pole of the swing ride.
Let X represent the height of the pole of the swing ride.
Let's first find the length of pole from the top of the swing ride. Thus, we have:

Substituting figures, we have:
Let's make h subject of the formula.

The length of pole from the top of the swing ride is 3.68 meters
To find the height of the pole of the swing ride, we have:
X = h + H
X = 3.68 + 3.5
X = 7.18
Height of the pole of the swing ride is 7.18 meters
A. If you plot the points in a graph, it would look like that shown in the picture attached. If we use linear regression, the correlation is very poor. The coefficient of correlation (r2) is only 0.0017. There is no linear relationship between time and velocity.
B. The slope of the graph is equal to y2-y1/x2-x1, In this case, it would specifically be v2-v1/t2-t1
Slope = 0.8-0.2/20-10 = 0.06 miles/s^2
The slope represents the acceleration at time 10 to 20 minutes.
C. The table in the graph shows causation rather than correlation. The points in the data occur in a sequential manner.
From calculus, to determine the maxima or minima of the graph, get the derivative of the equation and equate to zero. So, we derive first the equation of the graph and equate to zero.
C = 0.25x² - 80x + 30000
dC/dx = 0 = 0.5x - 80 + 0
0.5x = 80
x = 80/0.5
x = 160 units
The minimum cost (although not asked) is:
C = 0.25(160)² - 80(160) + 30000
C = $23,600
The answer is 160 units.
I’m doing this to in 8th grade I don’t understand it neither
