Percent increase
find increase first
10500 to 11300
11300-10500=800
so
percent increase
change/original
origianal=10500
change=800
800/10500=8/105=0.0761
percent means parts out of 100
0.0761/1 times 100/100=7.61/100=7.61%

rond 7.61% to tenth or to 7.6%

7.6%

The path traveled by a bottlenose dolphin as it jumps out of water is modeled by the equation y = −0.4x2 + 3x, where y is the he

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The path traveled by a bottlenose dolphin as it jumps out of water is modeled by the equation,

$y=-0.4x^2+3x$

where y is the height above water and x is the horizontal distance in feet.

If a beam of light is shone upward at an angle modeled by the equation

$x+y=10$

A beam of light hit the dolphin.

So, line must be intersect path of dolphin.

Using substation method,

Substitute y=10-x into dolphin equation.

$10-x=-0.4x^2+3x$

$-0.4x^2+4x-10=0$

$x=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(-10)(-0.4)}}{2(-0.4)}$

$x=5\text{ feet }$

$y=5\text{ feet }$

Hence, The beam hit dolphin at 5 feet.

25. To produce the graph of the function y=0.5cos(0.5x), what transformations should be applied to the graph of the parent funct

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

C. A horizontal stretch to produce a period of $2\pi$ and a vertical compression.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the parent function as $y= \cot x$

It is given that, transformations are applied to the parent function in order to obtain the function $y=0.5\cot (0.5x)$ i.e. $y=\frac{1}{2}\cot (\frac{x}{2})$

That is, we see that,

The parent function $y= \cot x$ is stretched horizontally by the factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ which gives the function $y=\cot (\frac{x}{2})$ .

Further, the function is compressed vertically by the factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ which gives the function $y=\frac{1}{2}\cot (\frac{x}{2})$ .

Now, we know,

If a function f(x) has period P, then the function cf(bx) will have period $\frac{P}{|b|}$ .

Since, the period of $y= \cot x$ is $\pi$ , so the period of $y=\frac{1}{2}\cot (\frac{x}{2})$ is $\frac{\pi}{1/2}$ = $2\pi$

Hence, we get option C is correct.

QUICK! 75 POINTS !!Select all that are part of the solution set of csc(x) > 1 and over 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\frac{5\pi}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer uses the unit circle and that sine and cosecant are reciprocals.

The first choice doesn't even fit the criteria that $x$ is between $0$ and $2\pi$ (inclusive of both endpoints) because of the $x=\frac{-7\pi}{6}$ .

Let's check the second choice.

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ since } \sin(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{4})>1 \text{ since } \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}>1$

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{2})=1 \text{ since } \sin(\frac{\pi}{2})=1$ which means $\csc(\frac{\pi}{2})=1$ which is not greater than 1.

So we can eliminate second choice.

Let's look at the third.

$\csc(\frac{5\pi}{6})=2 \text{ since } \sin(\frac{5\pi}{6})=\frac{1}{2}$ which means $\csc(\frac{5\pi}{6})>1$ .

$\csc(\pi)$ isn't defined because $\sin(\pi)=0$ .

So we are eliminating 3rd choice now.

Let's look at the fourth choice.

$\csc(\frac{7\pi}{6})=-2 \text{ since } \sin(\frac{7\pi}{6})=\frac{-1}{2}$ which means $\csc(\frac{7\pi}{6})$ and not greater than 1.

I was looking at the rows as if they were choices.

Let me break up my choices.

So we said $x=-\frac{7\pi}{6}$ doesn't work because it is not included in the inequality $0\le x \le 2\pi$ .

How about $x=0$ ? This leads to $\csc(0)$ which doesn't exist because $\sin(0)=0$ .

So neither of the first two choices on the first row.

Let's look at the second row again.

We said $\frac{\pi}{4}$ worked but not $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Let's look at the choices on the third row.

We said $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ worked but not $x=\pi$

Let's look at at the last choice.

We said it gave something less than 1 so this choice doesn't work.
