An engineer is designing an arch-shaped gate for the entrance to an amusement park. The gate must be 80 feet wide and 25 feet ta
Tom [10]
1) the form of the equation may be written as y = A(X - Xo)(X - X1)

Where Xo and X1 are the two roots of the equation.


2) We can fix the system of coordinates so that the vertex is in the middle of the gate => Xo = - 40 and X1 = +40


=> y = A (X + 40) (X - 40) = A (X^2 - 1600) 


3) The height, at X = 0 is 25

=> A(0 - 1600) = 25


=> -1600A = 25 => A = -25 / 1600 = - 1/64


4) The equation is y =  - [1/64] (X^2 - 1600)


5) You can present it in different equivalent forms.

Some of those other forms are:

1) - 64y = (x^2 - 1600)

2) x^2 = - 64y + 1600

3) X^2 = - 64 (y - 25)

A child wanders slowly down a circular staircase from the top of a tower. With x,y,zx,y,z in feet and the origin at the base of
babymother [125]

Answer:

a) The tower is 90 feet tall

b) She reaches the bottom at t = 18 minutes.

c) Her speed at time t is 5 \sqrt[]{5} ft/minute

d) Her acceleration at time t is 10 ft/minute^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the path described by the child as going down the tower to have the following parametrization \gamma(t) = (10\cos t, 10 \sin t, 90-5t)

a) Assuming that the child is at the top of the tower when she starts going down, we have that at the initial time (t=0) we will have the value of the height of the tower. That is z = 90-5*0 = 90 ft.

b) The child reaches the bottom as soon as z =0. We want to find the value of t that does that. Then we have 0 = 90-5t, which gives us t = 18 minutes.

c) Given the parametrization we are given, the velocity of the child at time t is given by \frac{d\gamma}{dt}= (\frac{d}{dt}(10\cos t), \frac{d}{dt} (10 \sin t ), \frac{d}{dt}(90-5t)) = (-10 \sin t, 10 \cos t, -5). The speed is defined as the norm of the velocity vector,

so, the speed at time t is given by v = \sqrt[]{(-10 \sin t)^2+(10 \cos t)^2+(-5)^2} = \sqrt[]{100(\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t)+25} = \sqrt[]{125}= 5 \sqrt[]{5}

d) ON the same fashion we want to know the norm of the second derivative of \gamma.

We have that \gamma ^{''}(t) =(-10\cost t, -10 \sin t , 0) so the acceleration is given by \sqrt[]{100(\cos^2 t+ \sin^2 t )} = 10

If 40% of a number is 32, what is 25% of that number?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Well what I would do is split the 40% into 20% so from 40% to 20% that is /2. So 32/2=16 so 20% of a number is 16, we know there is 5, 20% in 100% so multiply 16 and 5 which gives you 80. Now 25% of 80 is the same as 80*.25 or 80/4 which is 20

The area of a square is stored in a double variable named area. write an expression whose value is length of the diagonal of the
lbvjy [14]

First of all, a bit of theory: since the area of a square is given by

A = s^2

where s is the length of the square. So, if we invert this function we have

s = \sqrt{A}.

Moreover, the diagonal of a square cuts the square in two isosceles right triangles, whose legs are the sides, so the diagonal is the hypothenuse and it can be found by

d = \sqrt{s^2+s^2} = \sqrt{2s^2} = s\sqrt{2}

So, the diagonal is the side length, multiplied by the square root of 2.

With that being said, your function could be something like this:

double diagonalFromArea(double area) {

double side = Math.sqrt(area);

double diagonal = side * Math.sqrt(2);

return diagonal;

}

Hello,

y=5+3*cos (2(x-π/3))

The function is periodic with periode=2π.


-1<=cos (2(x-π/3))<=1
