Answer:
4 killer whales
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensional analysis is ...
(whales/ft³)(ft³/tank) = whales/tank
Putting the numbers with the units, we get ...
(1.1142·10^-5 whales/ft³)(3.5900667·10^5 ft³/tank) = 4.00005... whales/tank
The maximum number of killer whales allowed in the main show tank is 4.
Which of the following could be the graph of a polynomial whose leading term is [tex]-3x^4[/tex]?
The leading coefficient is a negative value (-3) so the graph goes down on the right side.
This makes either Graph B or C correct.

d. How is the area of each piece of the board related to the area of the board
before it is cut?
Answer:
a. x^4 +2x^2 -6
b. 2x^5 +x^4 +4x^3 +2x^2 -12x -6
c. 6x^5 +3x^4 +12x^3 +6x^2 -36x -18
d. the area of one piece is 1/3 the area of the board
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The length of each piece will be 1/3 the length of the board. Divide each of the coefficients of the length polynomial by 3:
piece length = (1/3)(board length) = (1/3)(3x^4 +6x^2 -18) = x^4 +2x^2 -6
__
b. The area is the product of length and width.
piece area = (width)×(piece length) = (2x +1)(x^4 +2x^2 -6)
piece area = 2x^5 +x^4 +4x^3 +2x^2 -12x -6
__
d. The board area is 3 times the area of one piece. The area of one piece is 1/3 the area of the board.

Answer:
D. {(8, 1), (4, 1), (0, 1), (–15, 1)}
Step-by-step explanation:
A function can not contain two ordered pairs with the same first elements.
Let us look at the options one by one:
A. {(–4, –6), (–3, –2), (1, –2), (1, 0)}
Not a function because (1, –2), (1, 0) have same first element.
B. {(–2, –12), (–2, 0), (–2, 4), (–2, 11)}
Not a function because all the ordered pairs have the same first element.
C. {(0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 2), (1, 3)}
Not a function because (0, 1), (0, 2) have same first element.
D. {(8, 1), (4, 1), (0, 1), (–15, 1)}
This is a function because all the ordered pairs have different first elements i.e. no repetition in first elements of the ordered pairs
Therefore, option D is correct ..
Charmaine is riding her bike. The distance she travels varies directly with the number of revolutions (turns) her wheels make. See the graph below.
(a) How many revolutions does Charmaine make per foot of distance traveled?
(b) What is the slope of the graph?
Answer:
Part a) 0.20 revolutions per foot of distance traveled
Part b) The slope of the graph is [tex]m=5\frac{ft}{rev} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]y/x=k[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
Let
x ----> the number of revolutions
y ----> the distance traveled in feet
we have the point (2,10) ----> see the graph
Find the value of the constant of proportionality k
[tex]k=y/x=10/2=5\frac{ft}{rev} [/tex]
Remember that in a direct variation the constant k is equal to the slope m
therefore
The slope m is equal to
[tex]m=5\frac{ft}{rev} [/tex]
The linear equation is
[tex]y=5x[/tex]
step 2
How many revolutions does Charmaine make per foot of distance traveled?
For y=1
substitute in the equation and solve for x
[tex]1=5x[/tex]
[tex]x=1/5=0.20\ rev[/tex]
A landscaper is making a retaining wall to shore up the side of a hill. To ensure against collapse, the wall should make an angle 75° with the ground.
If the wall is 25 feet, what is the height of the hill?
Question options:
25.9 ft
6.5 ft
24.1 ft
93.3 ft
Answer:
C. 24.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The side of the wall making the tilt of 75° will represent the hypotenuse
The height of the wall will be represented by the side opposite to the angle 75°
Apply the relationship for sine of angle Ф
Formula to use is ;
Sin Ф= length of opposite side÷hypotenuse
SinФ=O/H
Sin 75°=O/25
0.96592582628=O/25
O=0.96592582628×25 =24.1 ft
Option 24.1 ft
1. Identify the given information:
- Length of the wall (hypotenuse, [tex]\( c \)[/tex]) = 25 feet
- Angle [tex](\( \theta \))[/tex] with the ground = 75°
2. Recall the sine function:
- Sine of an angle [tex](\( \sin \theta \))[/tex] is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
- Mathematically, [tex]\( \sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \)[/tex].
3. Set up the equation using the sine function:
[tex]\[ \sin(75^\circ) = \frac{\text{height}}{25} \][/tex]
4. Solve for the height:
- Multiply both sides by 25 to isolate the height.
[tex]\[ \text{height} = 25 \times \sin(75^\circ) \][/tex]
5. Calculate [tex]\( \sin(75^\circ) \)[/tex]:
- This value is approximately 0.9659.
6. Substitute [tex]\( \sin(75^\circ) \)[/tex] into the equation:
[tex]\[ \text{height} = 25 \times 0.9659 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{height} \approx 24.148 \][/tex]
7. Determine the closest option:
- The options given are 25.9 ft, 6.5 ft, 24.1 ft, 93.3 ft.
- The calculated height is approximately 24.148 feet.
- The closest option is 24.1 ft.
Manuel spends the weekend with friends who live 385 miles from his home. After his visit, he drives back home at an average rate of 55 miles per hour. Let x represent the time spent driving, in hours, and let y represent Manuel's distance from home, in miles.
(If you respond with I dont know Ill report and flag you)
He drives 55 miles per hour for x hours. You want to multiply the number of hours by his speed , so you have 55x.
Then you want to subtract that from the total miles he has to drive.
The equation is Y = 385 - 55x
How much water is in the cylinder ?
Answer:
339π in³
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of water is the difference between the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the ball. The appropriate volume formulas are ...
cylinder V = πr²h
sphere V = (4/3)πr³
For the given numbers, the volumes are ...
cylinder V = π(5 in)²(15 in) = 375π in³
sphere V = (4/3)π(3 in)³ = 36π in³
The water volume is the difference of these ...
water volume = cylinder V - sphere V
= 375π in³ - 36π in³ = 339π in³
A pyramid has a square base that is 160 m on each side. What is the perimeter of the base in kilometers? Question 19 options:
Answer:
1km=1000m 160m=0.160x4=0.64
Step-by-step explanation:
Ifl = 160m, then:
P = 4 * 160m\\P = 640m
Thus, the perimeter of the base of the pyramid is 640m.
On the other hand, by definition: 1Km = 1000m
By making a rule of three we have:
1Km ---------> 1000m
x --------------> 640m
Where "x" represents the perimeter of the base of the pyramid in Km.
x = \frac {640 * 1} {1000}\\x = 0.64km
For this case we must convert from meters to kilometers. By definition we have to:
[tex]1km = 1000m[/tex]
The perimeter of the base of the pyramid will be given by the sum of the sides:
[tex]P = 160m + 160m + 160m + 160m = 640m[/tex]
We make a rule of three:
1km ----------> 1000m
x ---------------> 640m
Where "x" represents the equivalent amount in km.
[tex]x = \frac {640} {1000}\\x = 0.64km[/tex]
Answer:
0.64km
Yana is using an indirect method to prove that segment DE is not parallel to segment BC in the triangle ABC shown below:
A triangle ABC is shown. D is a point on side AB and E is a point on side AC. Points D and E are joined using a straight line. The length of AD is equal to 4, the length of DB is equal to 5, the length of AE is equal to 6 and the length of EC is equal to 7.
She starts with the assumption that segment DE is parallel to segment BC.
Which inequality will she use to contradict the assumption?
4:9 ≠ 6:13
4:9 ≠ 6:7
4:13 ≠ 6:9
4:5 ≠ 6:13
Answer:
4:9 ≠ 6:13
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios of corresponding segments will be equal if DE || BC. Yana can compare AD:AB versus AE:AC. She will find they're not equal, as expressed by ...
4 : 9 ≠ 6 : 13
Answer:
4:9 ≠ 6:13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
In triangle ABC,
D ∈ AB, E ∈ AC,
Also, AD = 4 unit, DB = 5 unit, AE = 6 unit, EC = 7 units,
Suppose,
DE ║ BC,
[tex]\because \frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{AD}{AD + DB}=\frac{4}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{AE}{AC}=\frac{AE}{AE+EC}=\frac{6}{6+7}=\frac{6}{13}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \frac{AD}{AB}\neq \frac{AE}{AC}[/tex]
Because,
[tex]\frac{4}{9}\neq \frac{6}{13}[/tex]
Which is a contradiction. ( if a line joining two points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to third sides then the resultant triangles have proportional corresponding sides )
Hence, DE is not parallel to segment BC.
What is x? [A tangent and a decent]
Answer:
x= 45 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the larger angle - the smaller angle. 152-62= 90. Now we take this number and divide it by 2. 90/2 equals 45 degrees.
Answer:
45°
Step-by-step explanation:
The external angle measure is half the difference of the intercepted arcs:
x = (152° -62°)/2 = 45°
find the slope from the two points (9,-2) and (9,7).
find the slope from the two points (-4,-6) and (5,-6)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We have been given the points (9,-2) and (9,7)
Use the slope formula to solve this.
m= y2-y1/x2-x1
where (x1,y1)=(9,-2)
and (x2,y2)=(9,7)
m=7-(-2)/9-9
m=7+2/0
m=9/0
Having a zero in the denominator means the slope is undefined. Whenever you have a vertical line your slope is undefined....
b) We have been given (-4,-6) and (5,-6)
Use the slope formula to solve this.
m= y2-y1/x2-x1
where (x1,y1)=(-4,-6)
and (x2,y2)=(5,-6)
m=-6-(-6)/5-(-6)
m=-6+6/5+6
m=0/11
If the numerator of the fraction is 0, the slope is 0. This will happen if the y value of both points is the same. The graph would be a horizontal line and would indicate that the y value stays constant for every value of x....
Soda Q is bottled at a rate of 500 liters/second, 24 hours a day. Soda V is bottled at a rate of 300 liters/second, 24 hours a day. If twice as many bottles of Soda V as of Soda Q are filled in a day, what is the ratio of the volume of a bottle of Soda Q to a bottle of Soda V?
Answer:
[tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the filled bottles of soda Q,
As per statement,
The filled bottles of soda V = 2x,
Given,
Rate of filling of soda Q = 500 liters per sec,
So, the total volume filled by soda Q in a day = 500 × 86400 = 43200000 liters,
( ∵ 1 day = 86400 second ),
Thus, the volume of a bottle of Soda Q = [tex]\frac{\text{Total volume filled by soda Q}}{\text{filled bottles of soda Q}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{43200000}{x}[/tex]
Now, rate of filling of soda V = 300 liters per sec,
So, the total volume filled by soda V in a day = 300 × 86400 = 25920000 liters,
Thus, the volume of a bottle of Soda V
[tex]=\frac{25920000}{2x}[/tex]
Thus, the ratio of the volume of a bottle of Soda Q to a bottle of Soda V
[tex]=\frac{\frac{43200000}{x}}{\frac{25920000}{2x}}[/tex]

Peter works part time for 3 hours every day and Cindy works part time for 2 hours every day.
a. If both of them get $4.50 an hour, write an inequality to compare Peter’s and Cindy’s earnings.
b. What should Cindy’s per-hour income be so that she earns at least $14 a day? Write an inequality and an explanation of
how to solve it.
Answer:
a. We can say that P > C, where 'P' represents Peter's earnings and 'C' represents Cindy's earnings.
Given that P = 3h and C = 2h, where h =$4.50. We can say also that 3h > 2h.
b. If Cindy wants to earn at least $14 a day working two hours. Then:
2h ≥ $14
To solve the problem, we just need to solve for 'h':
h ≥ $7
Therefore, se should earn more or equal to $14 per hour.
Answer:
Peter works part time for 3 hours every day and Cindy works part time for 2 hours every day.
Part A:
Peter's earning in 3 hours is = [tex]3\times4.50=13.5[/tex] dollars
Cindy's earnings in 2 hours is = [tex]2\times4.50=9[/tex] dollars
We can define the inequality as: [tex]9<13.50[/tex]
Part B:
Let Cindy's earnings be C and number of hours needed be H.
We have to find her per hour income so that C ≥ 14
As Cindy works 2 hours per day, the inequality becomes 2H ≥ 14
So, we have [tex]H\geq 7[/tex]
This means Cindy's per hour income should be at least $7 per hour so that she earns $14 a day.
Troy took out an 80/20 mortgage to buy a house costing $100,000. The first (80%) mortgage has an interest rate of 4.75%, The second (20%) mortgage has an interest rate of 7.525%. Both the first mortgage and the second mortgage are 30-year fixed-rate mortgages.
What is his total mortgage payment for this house?
Answer:
$557.51
Step-by-step explanation:
A financial calculator tells you the payments are ...
on $80,000 at 4.75%: $417.32
on $20,000 at 7.525%: $140.19
Then the total monthly payment is ...
$417.32 +140.19 = $557.51
_____
You can use the amortization formula to find the payment (A) on principal P at interest rate r for t years to be ...
A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1+r/12)^(-12t))
I find it takes fewer keystrokes to enter the numbers into a financial calculator. Both give the same result.
Final answer:
Troy's total mortgage payment can be found by calculating the monthly payment for the first mortgage at 80% of the home price with an interest rate of 4.75% and the second mortgage at 20% of the home price with a 7.525% interest rate, then combining these two payments. However, exact figures require the use of an amortization formula or an online mortgage calculator.
Explanation:
To calculate Troy's total mortgage payment for an 80/20 mortgage on a $100,000 house, we need to separate the calculations for the first mortgage (80%) and the second mortgage (20%) because they have different interest rates.
First Mortgage Calculation:
The first mortgage is 80% of the home price, which amounts to $80,000. With an interest rate of 4.75%, his monthly payment can be calculated using the formula for a fixed-rate mortgage.
Second Mortgage Calculation:
The second mortgage is 20% of the home price, equal to $20,000. With a higher interest rate of 7.525%, we again use the formula for a fixed-rate mortgage to find the monthly payment.
Without the actual formula or financial calculator, we cannot compute the exact monthly payments here. Typically, you would use the amortization formula or an online mortgage calculator to find the monthly payments for each part of the mortgage, and then sum them up for the total monthly payment.
Combining the Payments:
Once the monthly payments for both mortgages are calculated, they are added together to determine Troy's total monthly mortgage payment.

Given the graph of a function below, Determine the interval in which the function has a negative value.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The "value" of a function is the y-value.
Since we want negative y values, we look at "WHERE" the function is "UNDER" the y-axis.
Looking closely, it looks that function (the dip) is from x = -1 to x = 3
Hence, the function is negative at the interval -1 ≤ x ≤ 3
B is correct.
The focus of the parabola -40x = y 2 is: (-10, 0) (10, 0) (0, 10) (0, -10)
Answer:
(-10, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The parabola opens to the left, and its vertex is at (0, 0). The focus must have an x-coordinate that is negative. The only viable choice is ...
(-10, 0)
__
The equation is in the form ...
4px = y^2
where p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.
In the given equation, 4p = -40, so p=-10, and the focus is 10 units to the left of the vertex. In this equation, the vertex corresponds to the values of the variables where the squared term is zero: (x, y) = (0, 0).
A marketing research company needs to estimate which of two medical plans its employees prefer. A random sample of n employees produced the following 98% confidence interval for the proportion of employees who prefer plan A: (0.241, 0.561). Identify the point estimate for estimating the true proportion of employees who prefer that plan
Answer:
the point estimate of the true proportion of employees is 0.401
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
plan A = ( 0.241 , 0.561 )
to find out
the point estimate for estimating the true proportion of employees who prefer that plan
solution
we know that given data 98% confidence interval for the proportion of employees who prefer plan A: (0.241, 0.561) so point estimate for estimating the true proportion o employees who prefer that plan is p^E
and we can say here
lower limit = [tex]p^{-E}[/tex] = 0.241 ..............1
upper limit = [tex]p^{+E}[/tex] = 0.561 ...............2
now add these two equations 1 and 2
= [tex]p^{-E}[/tex] + [tex]p^{+E}[/tex]
= [tex]p^{-E}[/tex] + [tex]p^{+E}[/tex] = 0.241 + 0.561
2 p = 0.802
2p = 0.806
p = 0.401
So the point estimate of the true proportion of employees is 0.401
The point estimate in this scenario is 0.401, which is the estimated proportion of employees who prefer Plan A. This is calculated by averaging the lower and upper limits of the given 98% confidence interval.
Explanation:The question is asking for the point estimate which is a single value used as an estimate of the population parameter. In a confidence interval, the point estimate is the mid-point or center of the interval. Here, the confidence interval given for the proportion of employees preferring Plan A is (0.241, 0.561). To find the point estimate, you average the two end values.
The formula for finding the point estimate is: (Lower limit + Upper limit) / 2.
Applying the values from your question: (0.241 + 0.561) / 2 = 0.401.
So, the point estimate, or the estimated true proportion of employees who prefer Plan A, is 0.401.

Please make sure you have the correct problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
A set of points is a function if you have all your x's are different. That is, all the x's must be distinct. There can be no value of x that appears more than once.
If you look at choice A, this is not a function because the first two points share the same x, which is -3.
Choice B is not a function because the first and last point share the same x, which is 6.
Choice C is not a function because the last two points share the same x, which is 3.
Choice D is not a function because the first and last choice share the same x, which is -3.
None of your choices show a function.

We know the heights and the number of bounces needed to achieve that height, but in order to write the recursive formula we need r.
The value of r is found by dividing each value of a bounce by the one before it. In other words, bounce 1 divided by the starting height gives a value of r=240/300 so r = .8
Bounce 2 divided by bounce 1: 192/240 = .8
So r = .8
Therefore, the formula is
[tex]a_{n}=a_{0}(.8)^{n-1)[/tex] where
aₙ is the height of the ball after the nth bounce,
a₀ is the starting height of the ball,
.8 is the rebound percentage, and
n-1 is the number of bounces minus 1
The first problem basically asks us to find n when the starting height is 175 and the bounce height is less than 8. I used 7. Here is the formula filled in with our info:
[tex]7=175(.8)^{n-1}[/tex]
and we need to solve for n. That requires that we take the natural log of both sides. Here are the steps:
First, divide both sides by 175 to get
[tex].04=(.8)^{n-1}[/tex]
Next, take the natural log of both sides:
[tex]ln(.04)=ln((.8)^{n-1})[/tex]
The power rule of logs says that we can bring the exponent down in front of the log:
[tex]ln(.04)=n-1(ln(.8))[/tex]
Finding the natural logs of those decimals gives us:
[tex]-3.218876=-.223144(n-1)[/tex]
Divide both sides by -.223144 to get your n-1 value:
n - 1 = 14.4251067
That means that, since the ball is not bouncing 14.425 times, it bounces 14 times to achieve a height less than 8. Let's see how much less than 8 by checking our answer. To do this, we will solve for aₙ when x = 14:
[tex]a_{n}=175(.8)^{14}[/tex]
This gives us a height at bounce 14 of 7.697 cm, just under 8!
Now for the next part, we want to use a starting value of 250 and .8 as the rebound height. We want to find a₄, the height of the 4th bounce.
[tex]a_{4}=250(.8)^{4-1}[/tex]
which simplifies to
[tex]a_{4}=250(.8)^3[/tex]
Do the math on that to find the height of the 4th bounce from a starting height of 250 cm is 128 cm
Answer:
First case
Recursive formula: [tex]h_n = 0.8 \times h_{n-1}[/tex]
Explicit formula: [tex]h_n = 300 \times 0.8^{n-1}[/tex]
Second case: 15 bounces are needed
Third case: 128 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call h to he height of the ball
From the table, the rate is computed as follows:
r = 240/300 = 192/240 = 153.6/192 = 122.88/153.6 = 98.3/122.88 = 0.8
Which means this is a geometric sequence (all quotients are equal).
Recursive formula:
[tex]h_0 = 300[/tex]
[tex]h_n = r \times h_{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]h_n = 0.8 \times h_{n-1}[/tex]
where n refers to the number of bounces
Explicit formula:
[tex]h_n = h_0 \times r^{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]h_n = 300 \times 0.8^{n-1}[/tex]
If this ball is dropped from a height of 175 cm, then
[tex]h_n = 175 \times 0.8^{n-1}[/tex]
If the height must be 8 cm or less:
[tex]8 = 175 \times 0.8^{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]8/175 = 0.8^{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]ln(8/175) = (n-1) ln(0.8)[/tex]
[tex]n = 1 + \frac{ln(8/175)}{ln(0.8)}[/tex]
[tex]n = 14.83[/tex]
which means that 15 bounces are needed.
If this ball is dropped from a height of 250 cm, then
[tex]h_n = 250 \times 0.8^{n-1}[/tex]
For the fourth bounce the height will be:
[tex]h_4 = 250 \times 0.8^{4-1}[/tex]
[tex]h_4 = 128[/tex]

Please no guessing, and remember to provide reasoning for your answer
Answer: A and C
Step-by-step explanation: Took the test |
\/
The true statement is (c) Initially there were 100 wild flowers growing in the meadow.
The function for the number of wild flowers is given as:
[tex]f(x)=\frac{1000}{1+9e^{-0.4x}}[/tex]
Set x to 0
[tex]f(0)=\frac{1000}{1+9e^{-0.4 * 0}}[/tex]
Evaluate the product
[tex]f(0)=\frac{1000}{1+9e^{0}}[/tex]
Evaluate the exponent
[tex]f(0)=\frac{1000}{1+9}[/tex]
Evaluate the sum
[tex]f(0)=\frac{1000}{10}[/tex]
Evaluate the quotient
[tex]f(0)=100[/tex]
The above represents the initial number of wild flowers
Hence, the true statement is (c) Initially there were 100 wild flowers growing in the meadow.

The ages of students in a school are normally distributed with a mean of 16 years and a standard deviation of 1 year. Using the empirical rule, approximately what percent of the students are between 14 and 18 years old?
32%
68%
95%
99.7%
(i know its not B)
Answer:
The percent of the students between 14 and 18 years old is 95% ⇒ answer C
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise the empirical rule
- The Empirical Rule states that almost all data lies within 3
standard deviations of the mean for a normal distribution.
- 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation.
- 95% of the data lies within two standard deviations.
- 99.7% of the data lies Within three standard deviations
- The empirical rule shows that
# 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ)
# 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ)
# 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).
* Lets solve the problem
- The ages of students in a school are normally distributed with
a mean of 16 years
∴ μ = 16
- The standard deviation is 1 year
∴ σ = 1
- One standard deviation (µ ± σ):
∵ (16 - 1) = 15
∵ (16 + 1) = 17
- Two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ):
∵ (16 - 2×1) = (16 - 2) = 14
∵ (16 + 2×1) = (16 + 2) = 18
- Three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ):
∵ (16 - 3×1) = (16 - 3) = 13
∵ (16 + 3×1) = (16 + 3) = 19
- We need to find the percent of the students between 14 and 18
years old
∴ The empirical rule shows that 95% of the distribution lies
within two standard deviation in this case, from 14 to 18
years old
* The percent of the students between 14 and 18 years old
is 95%

Answer:
The measure of angle B is [tex]67\°[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Applying the law of sines
[tex]\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{b}{sin(B)}[/tex]
we have

For what x-value(s) does cos(x) = 0?
[tex]\cos x=0\\\\x=\dfrac{\pi}{2}+k\pi, k\in\mathbb{Z}[/tex]
The x-values where cos(x) = 0 occur at x = π/2 + nπ, where n is any integer.
To determine the x-values where cos(x) equals 0, we refer to the unit circle, where the cosine of an angle represents the x-coordinate of the corresponding point on the circle.
The cosine function equals 0 at angles where the x-coordinate is 0, which occurs at specific points on the unit circle:
π/2 radians (90°)3π/2 radians (270°)Additionally, cosine is a periodic function with a period of 2π, meaning these values will repeat every 2π. Thus, the general solution for x where cos(x) = 0 is:
x = π/2 + nπ, where n is any integer.
For example: when n=0, x = π/2; when n=1, x = 3π/2; and so on.
Hence, the x-values where cos(x) = 0 are expressed as x = π/2 + nπ for any integer n.

inverse variation
step function
joint variation
direct variation
constant
Answer:
n/m = 1.5 is direct variation
v = 1/3 bh is joint variation
y = -7 is constant
vw = -18 is inverse variation
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain the types of variation
- Direct variation is a relationship between two variables that can be
expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant
times the other
# Ex: the equation of a direct variation y = kx , where k is a constant
- Inverse variation is a relationship between two variables in which their
product is a constant.
- When one variable increases the other decreases in proportion so
that their product is unchanged
# Ex: the equation of a inverse variation y = k/x , where k is a constant
- Joint variation is a variation where a quantity varies directly as the
product of two or more other quantities
# Ex: If z varies jointly with respect to x and y, the equation will be of
the form z = kxy , where k is a constant
- The constant function is a function whose output value (y) is the
same for every input value (x)
* Lets solve the problem
∵ n/m = 1.5 ⇒ multiply both sides by m
∴ n = 1.5 m
∵ The equation in the shape of y = kx
∴ n/m = 1.5 is direct variation
∵ v = 1/3 bh
∵ 1/3 is a constant
∴ v is varies directly with b and h
∴ v = 1/3 bh is joint variation
∵ y = -7
∴ All output will be -7 for any input values
∴ y = -7 is constant
∵ vw = -18
∵ -18 is constant
∵ The product of the two variables is constant
∴ vw = -18 is inverse variation
Tom and Becky can paint Jim's fence together in $12$ hours. If all people paint at the same rate, how many hours would it take to paint the fence if Huck joins Tom and Becky, and all three of them paint Jim's fence together?
Answer:
8 hours
Step-by-step explanation
The first thing one mus realize here is that this is an inverse proportion question. When one quantity increases, the other decreases. That is the time needed to paint the fence decreases as the number of people who work on it increase. This means therefore that we can set up a proportionality equation:
[tex]t \alpha \frac{k}{n}[/tex]
where t is time and n is the number of people. Given the information in the question we can find the proportionality constant k
[tex]t=\frac{k}{n}[/tex]
[tex]12=\frac{k}{2}[/tex]
so k=24
So how many hours does it take for 3 people
[tex]t=\frac{24}{3} =8[/tex]
