PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE EVERYTHING Amare wants to ride a Ferris wheel that sits four meters above the ground and has a diameter of 50 meters. It takes six minutes to do three revolutions on the Ferris wheel. Complete the function, h(t), which models Amare's height above the ground, in meters, as a function of time, t, in minutes. Assume he enters the ride at the low point when t = 0.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]h(t)=-25\cos(\pi t)+29[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to understand is that we will be producing a sine or cosine function to solve this one. I'll use a cosine function for the sake of the problem, since it's most easily represented by a cosine wave flipped over. If you're interested in seeing a visualization of how a circle's height converts to one of these waves, you may find the Better Explained article Intuitive Understanding of Sine Waves helpful.

Now let's get started on the problem. Cosine functions generally take the form

[tex]y=a\cos(b(x-c))+d[/tex]

Where:

[tex]|a|[/tex] is the amplitude

[tex]\frac{2\pi}{b}[/tex] is the period, or the time it takes to go one full rotation around the circle (ferris wheel)

[tex]c[/tex] is the horizontal displacement

[tex]d[/tex] is the vertical shift

Step one, find the period of the function. To do this, we know that it takes six minutes to do three revolutions on the ferris wheel, so it takes 2 minutes to do one full revolution. Now, let's find [tex]b[/tex] to put into our function:

[tex]\frac{2\pi}{b}=2[/tex]

[tex]2\pi=2b[/tex]

[tex]\pi=b[/tex]

I skipped some of the basic algebra to shorten the solution, but we have found our b. Next, we'll get the amplitude of the wave by using the maximum and minimum height of the wheel. Remember, it's 4 meters at its lowest point, meaning its highest point is 54 meters in the air rather than 50. Using the formula for amplitude:

[tex]\frac{\max-\min}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{54-4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{50}{2}=25=a[/tex]

Our vertical transformation is given by [tex]\min+a[/tex] or [tex]\max-a[/tex], which is the height of the center of the ferris wheel, [tex]4+25=29=d[/tex]

Because cosine starts at the minimum, [tex]c=0[/tex].

The last thing to point out is that a cosine wave starts at its maximum. For that reason, we need to flip the entire function by making the amplitude negative in our final equation. Therefore our equation ends up being:

[tex]h(t)=-25\cos(\pi t)+29[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex](-\frac{36}{7},\frac{40}{7})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of points A and C are (-8, 6) and (2, 5).

If a point B intersects the segment AB in the ratio of 2 : 5

Then coordinates of the point B will be,

x = [tex]\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}[/tex]

and y = [tex]\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}[/tex]

where [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] are the coordinates of the extreme end of the segment and a point divides the segment in the ratio of m : n.

For the coordinates of point B,

x = [tex]\frac{2\times 2+(-8)\times 5}{2+5}[/tex]

  = [tex]-\frac{36}{7}[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{2\times 5+5\times 6}{2+5}[/tex]

Therefore, coordinates of pint B will be,

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find x. We are given the perimeter, which is 2l + 2w, so from there, we have an equation of 2(4x-1) + 2(3x+2) = 100. By working through it, we get that x = 7. We're asked to find WX, so plug 7 into 4x - 1 and get 27.

Answer:

27 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle is 2(l) + 2(w).

The perimeter is given 100 units.

2(4x-1) + 2(3x+2) = 100

Solve for x.

8x-2+6x+4=100

14x+2=100

14x=98

x=7

Plug x as 7 for the side WX.

4(7) - 1

a hardware store ordered cartons of hammers at 100$ per carton and cartons wrenches at 150$ per carton if there were a total of 25 cartons in this order And the total cost of the order was 3,000$ how many cartons of hammers were ordered

Answers

Answer:

15 cartons of Hammers were ordered

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost per carton of Hammer  = $100

Cost per carton of Wrenches = $150

Total Carton = 25

Total Cost = $3,000

Required

Determine the numbers of Hammer and Wrenches

Represent the hammers with H and the wrenches with W

So;

[tex]H + W = 25[/tex]

and

[tex]100H + 150W = 3000[/tex]

Make W the subject of formula in the first equation:

[tex]H + W = 25[/tex]

[tex]W = 25 - H[/tex]

Substitute 25 - H for W in the second equation

[tex]100H + 150(25 - H) = 3000[/tex]

[tex]100H + 3750 - 150H = 3000[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]100H - 150H = 3000 - 3750[/tex]

[tex]-50H = -750[/tex]

Divide both sides by -50

[tex]\frac{-50H}{=50} = \frac{-750}{-50}[/tex]

[tex]H = \frac{-750}{-50}[/tex]

[tex]H = 15[/tex]

Hence, 15 cartons of Hammers were ordered

Answers

Answer:

the guarantee period should be less than 136010 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let consider Y to be the life of a car engine

with a mean μ = 170000

and a standard deviation σ = 16500

The objective is to determine what should be the guarantee period T if the company wants less than 2% of the engines to fail.

i.e

P(Y < T ) < 0.02

For the variable of z ; we have:

[tex]z = \dfrac{x - \mu }{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{x - 170000 }{16500}[/tex]

Now;

[tex]P(Y < T ) = P( Z < \dfrac{T- 170000}{16500})[/tex]

[tex]P( Z < \dfrac{T- 170000}{16500})< 0.02[/tex]

From Z table ;

At P(Z < -2.06) ≅ 0.0197  which is close to 0.02

[tex]\dfrac{T- 170000}{16500}<- 2.06[/tex]

[tex]{T- 170000}<- 2.06({16500})[/tex]

[tex]{T- 170000}< - 33990[/tex]

[tex]{T}< - 33990+ 170000[/tex]

[tex]{T}<136010[/tex]

Thus; the guarantee period should be less than 136010 miles

A card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of drawing an ace or a 9? Round to nearest thousandth

Answers

Answer:

.154

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards

There are 4 aces and 4  9's for a total of 8 cars

P (ace or 9) = number of aces or 9's / total

                   = 8/52 = 2 /13 =.153846154

To the nearest thousandth

                      = .154

Answer:

0.154

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the probability of drawing an ace or a 9.

P(ace or 9)= aces and 9s / total cards

There are 4 aces and 4 9s in a standard deck of cards. This means there is a total of 8 aces and 9s.

In a standard deck of cards, there is a total of 52 cards.

P(ace or 9)= aces and 9s / total

aces and 9s= 8

total= 52

P(ace or 9)= 8/52

This fraction can be simplified. Both the numerator and denominator can be evenly divided by 4.

P(ace or 9)= (8/4) / (52/4)

P(ace or 9)= 2/13

P(ace or 9)= 0.153846153846154

Round to the nearest thousandth. The 8 in the ten thousandth place tell sus to round the 3 up to a 4.

P(ace or 9) = 0.154

The probability of drawing an ace or 9 is 0.154

Taylor and Jeff have been selling frozen pizzas for a class fundraiser. Taylor has sold half as many
pizzas as Jeff. Together they have sold a total of 126 pizzas. How many pizzas did Taylor sell?

Answers

Answer:

Taylor sold 42 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a system of equations where t represents the number of pizzas Taylor sold and j represents the number that Jeff sold:

t + j = 126

j = 2t

We can solve this system by substitution, since we can substitute 2t as j.

t + j = 126

t + 2t = 126

3t = 126

t = 42

Taylor sold 42 pizzas.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pizzas that Tailor sold.

Let y represent the number of pizzas that Jeff sold.

Together they have sold a total of 126 pizzas. This means that

x + y = 126- - - - - - - - -1

Taylor has sold half as many

pizzas as Jeff. This means that

x = 1/2 × y = y/2

Substituting x = y/2 into equation 1, it becomes

y/2 + y = 126

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

y + 2y = 252

3y = 252

y = 252/3

y = 84

x = y/2 = 84/2

x = 42

Taylor sold 42 pizzas

Even function because the highest exponent of the variable is a 6, and 6 is an even number.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

even function are symmetrical about the y axis or f(-x)=f(x)

odd function are symmetrical about the origin -f(-x)=f(x)

f(x)=x^6 + 10x^4-11x^2+19

f(-x)=(-x)^6+10(-x)^4+11(-x)^2+19=x^6 + 10x^4-11x^2+19

the function is even

A bag of 20 tulip bulbs purchased from a nursery contains 10 red tulip bulbs, 7 yellow tulip bulbs, and 3 purple tulip bulbs. What is the probability of randomly selecting a purple tulip bulb from the bag

Answers

Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is a total of 20 tulips that would be your denominator then your numerator would be the number of purple tulips which would be 3 so you probability of randomly selecting a purple tulip would be 3/20

What is the distance to the earth’s horizon from point P? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. Round only your final answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

156.7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since [tex]x[/tex] is tangent to the circle, then it is also a right angle with the radius, from here, just do Pythagorean theorem ([tex]a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}[/tex]) to solve for [tex]x[/tex].

Since 1 leg and the hypotenuse is given to you, you want to solve for the other leg, which is [tex]x[/tex] (either [tex]a[/tex] or [tex]b[/tex]). Lets use [tex]b[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] and set up the equation.

[tex]b^{2}=c^2-a^2[/tex]

[tex]b^2=(3959+3.1)^2-3959^2[/tex]

[tex]b^2 = 3962.1^2 - 3959^2[/tex]

[tex]b^2 = 15,698,236.41 - 15,673,681[/tex]

[tex]b^2 = 24,555.41[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{24,555.41}[/tex]

[tex]b=156.7016592[/tex]

[tex]b=156.7[/tex] (round to nearest tenth)

The distance to the earth’s horizon from point P is 281.6 miles

What is distance?

The distance between two points is the length of the line joining the two points. Distance is a numerical or occasionally qualitative measurement of how far apart objects or points are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria.

here, we have,

to determine the distance to the earth’s horizon from point P:

The tangent line from P meets the radius of the earth at a right angle.

This means that the triangle is a right triangle.

The length of x is then calculated as:

(3959 + 10)^2= 3959^2 + x^2

Rewrite as:

x^2 = (3959 + 10)^2- 3959^2

Evaluate

x^2 = 79280

Take the square root of both sides

x = 281.6

Hence, the distance to the earth’s horizon from point P is 281.6 miles
