A carpenter uses a hand saw to cut a piece of wood in half. The length of the saw blade is 40 cm, while the wood he is cutting i

s 8 cm across. Each time he extends the saw out with his arm, there is 5 cm of blade between the handle and the wood. When he pulls the saw toward his self with his arm, the saw handle is 25 centimetres from the wood. Each time he extends his arm out and pulls it back in, 1 second has passed. He starts with his arm extended out. Write an equation that models how far the tip of the saw is from the wood in terms of time.

Answer:

The equation that models how far from the tip of the saw is from the wood in terms of time is x(t) = 10×cos(2×π×t) + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

Length of the saw blade = 40 cm

Thickness of the wood across = 8 cm

Length of blade between wood saw handle with hand extended = 5 cm

Length of the tip from the wood at the above time = 40 - 8 - 5 = 27 cm

Length of blade between wood saw handle with saw pulled inwards = 25 cm

Length of the tip from the wood at the above time = 40 - 8 - 25 = 7 cm

Time for one complete cycle = 1 second

We note that the basic equation for oscillatory motion is of the form;

x(t) = A·cos(ωt) + d

Where:

A = Amplitude of the motion = (27 - 7)/2 = 10 cm

ω = Angular frequency = 2·π/T

ωt = Motion's phase

t = Time of the motion

d = The middle location = 27 - 10 = 17 cm

T = The time to complete a cycle = 1 s

Therefore;

ω = 2·π

Given that he stars with his arm extended out, we have;

27 = 10×cos(2×π×0) + 17

Therefore, the equation that models how far from the tip of the saw is from the wood in terms of time is x(t) = 10×cos(2×π×t) + 17.

A band director uses a coordinate plane to plan as how for a football game. During a show, the drummers will march along the lin

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form for the path of the trumpet players is $y=\frac{x}{5}+\frac{12}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The drummers will march along the line y=-5x-8.

The trumpets players will march along a perpendicular line that passes through (-2,2).

The slope of line y=-5x-8 is: m₁ = -5.

The slope of perpendicular lines are: $m_1\times m_2=-1$

$-5\times m_2=-1$

$m_2=\frac{1}{5}$

Hence, the slope of the line should be 1/5.

The line passes through (-2,2).

Now use point slope form to find the equation of line.

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Substitute m=1/5, x₁=-2 and y₁ = 2 in above formula.

$y-2=\frac{1}{5}(x+2)$

$y-2=\frac{x}{5}+\frac{2}{5}$

$y=\frac{x}{5}+\frac{2}{5}+2$

$y=\frac{x}{5}+\frac{12}{5}$

Hence, the equation in slope-intercept form for the path of the trumpet players is $y=\frac{x}{5}+\frac{12}{5}$ .

Given the functions f(x) = 7x + 13 and g(x) = x + 2, which of the following functions represents f[g(x)] correctly?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

B. f(g(x)) = 7x + 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, f(x) = 7x+13 and g(x) = x+2.

So, the function f(g(x)) is obtained by substituting the function g(x) = x+2 in f(x) = 7x+13,

i.e. f(g(x)) = f(x+2)

i.e. f(g(x)) = 7 × (x+2) + 13

i.e. f(g(x)) = 7x + 14 + 13

i.e. f(g(x)) = 7x + 27

Thus, f(g(x)) = 7x + 27

Hence, option B is correct.

The swimming instructor has a list of 152 students who have signed up for swimming lessons. The swimming instructor can register

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

2. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The least number of classes need for all of the students to be registered in a class is 13 since you want all of the stuednts to be registered so no one should be left out. If we do 12*12 (12 students in each class and there are 12 classes), that would only let 144 students take the swimming classes and 8 students would be left out. We don't want that though since we want all of the students to be registered. So let's go to 12*13 (12 students in each class and there are 13 classes), that would let 156 students take the swimming class. 156>152 so therefore, 13 classes would allow for all 152 students to be registered and it is the least number of classes needed for all the students to be registered in a class (plus you would have 4 seats left for anyone who wants to register in the future but the remainder doesn't matter).

A triangular piece of rubber is stretched equally from all sides, without distorting its shape, such that each side of the enlar

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The area of the enlarged triangle is $4$ times the original area

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to divide the measurement of the length side of the enlarged triangle by the the measurement of the length of the corresponding side of the original triangle

In his problem

Let

x------> the length side of the original triangle

so

2x-----> is the length of the corresponding side of the enlarged triangle

$scale\ factor=\frac{2x}{x}=2$

$scale\ factor> 1$ -------> that means is increasing

The scale factor squared is equal to the ratio of the area of the enlarged triangle divided by the area of the original triangle

so

Let

m-------> the area of the enlarged triangle

n------> the area of the original triangle

r-------> scale factor

$r^{2} =\frac{m}{n}$

we have

$r=2$

substitute

$2^{2} =\frac{m}{n}$

$m=4n$

therefore

The area of the enlarged triangle is $4$ times the original area
