An object attached to a coiled spring is pulled down a distance of 10 centimeters from its rest position and then released.

Assuming that the motion is simple harmonic
with a period of 2 seconds, write an equation that relates the displacement d of the object from its rest position after t seconds.

Also assume that the positive direction of
the motion is up. At time t=0 the object is at its resting position and moving down.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The general form for an equation that models a wave is this: (+/-) a (sin/cos) (2π(x-p)/T), where a is your amplitude, p is your phase shift, and T is your period. The (+/-) becomes + if the graph is to start in the positive direction, and - if it is to start in the negative direction. The (sin/cos) becomes sine if the graph is to start at 0 before being shifted, while it becomes cosine if the graph is to start at the amplitude.

In this case, our graph starts out negative, and at the amplitude with no phase shift, so the (+/-) becomes -, (sin/cos) becomes cos, and p is zero. Substituting in the values given in the problem, a = 9 and T = 7, we find this equation: d = -9cos(2πt/7).

how many three-digit positive integers leave a remainder of 2 when divided by 5 and a remainder of 6 when divided by 7?

Answers

There are 180 three-digit numbers that leave a remainder of 2 when divided by 5 and 128 three-digit numbers that leave a remainder of 6 when divided by 7.

The smallest 3-digit number to leave a remainder of 2 when divided by 5 is 102.

The next number will be 107, and then 112,

The last 3 digit number to leave a remainder 2 when divided by 5 is 997

Therefore here we get an Arithmetic Progression

102, 107, 112, ..., 997

We know that for any term of an A.P

aₙ = a + (n - 1)d

where,

a = first term

n = the order number of that particular value

d = common difference

Here,

a = 102

d = 107 - 102

= 5

The number of 3 digit number for the above problem will be the value of n for 997

Hence we get

997 = 102 + (n - 1)5

or, 102 + 5n - 5 = 997

or, 5n + 97 = 997

or, 5n = 997 - 97

or, 5n = 900

or, n = 900/5

or, n = 180

Next, we need to find the no. of three-digit numbers that leave the remainder of 6 when divided by 7

The smallest 3-digit number to leave the remainder of 6 when divided by 7 is 104

The largest is 993

Therefore, just like before, we get the A.P

104, 111, 118, ..., 993

here,

a = 104

d = 7

aₙ = 993

Hence we get,

993 = 104 + (n - 1)7

or, 104 + 7n - 7 = 993

or, 97 + 7n = 993

or, 7n = 993 - 97

or, 7n = 896

or, n = 128

Write an absolute value equation representing all numbers x whose distance from 5 is 5 units

Answers

The absolute value equation representing all numbers x whose distance from 5 is equal to 5 units is written as:

|x - 5| = 5

How to write the absolute value equation?

An absolute value equation where the variable is x can be written as:

|x - a| = b

This means that the distance between x and a is equal to b.

So if we want to write an equation where the distance between x and 5 is equal to 5, then we can replace:

a = 5

b = 5

And the absolute value equation will be:

|x - 5| = 5

This is what we wanted to get.

The steps needed are

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to y = - x + 4Find the intersection point on y = - x + 4 and the new line.Use the distance formula to find the distance from (2,-1) to the intersection point found in the second step

Givens

line y = -x + 4

point (2,-1)

Solution

The slope of the second line is

m1 * m2 = - 1

m1=  -1                From the given equation

m2 = ?

-1 * m2 = - 1

m2 = 1

Find the equation of the new line

x = 2

y = - 1 from the given point

-1 = 2 + b             Subtract 2 from both sides

-1 - 2 = 2-2 + b    Combine

-3 = b

Equation of the new line

y = x - 3

Intersection point of the two lines

y = -x + 4

y = x - 3              Add The xs cancel

2y = 1                  Divide by 2

y = 1/2

1/2 = -x + 4          Subtract 4 from both sides

1/2 - 4 = -x + 4 -4 Combine        

-3 1/2  = -x            Multiply both sides by - 1

3 1/2 = x

So the intersection point is (3.5, 0.5)

Find the distance between (2,-1) and (3.5,0.5)

d = sqrt( (2 - 3.5)^2 + (-1 - 0.5)^2 )

d = sqrt( (-1.5)^2 + (-1.5)^2 )

What is a function?

A unique kind of relation called a function is one in which each input has precisely one output. In other words, the function produces exactly one value for each input value. The graphic above shows a relation rather than a function because one is mapped to two different values. The relation above would turn into a function, though, if one were instead mapped to a single value. Additionally, output values can be equal to input values.

The x-values are input into the function machine. The function machine then performs its operations and outputs the y-values. The function within can be any function.

Suppose that f(a) = b

In that case, element "b" is the image of element "under the function," while element "a" is the preimage of element "under the function."

In the given function f(2)= -5

What is interior angle?

Interior angle is the inner of the two angles formed where two sides of a polygon come together.

To find the measure of each interior angle of the triangle in the diagram, first, we need to find the value of x.

Recall that: The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.

Using the formula,

a+b+c = 180°............. Equation 1

From the triangle,

a = 48°b = x°c = (x-44)°

Substitute these values into equation 1

48+x+(x-44) = 180

Solve for x

2x+4 = 1802x = 180-42x = 176x = 176/2x = 88°

on a particular stretch of highway, the state police know that the average speed is 62 mph with a standard deviation of 5 mph. on a busy holiday weekend, the police are concerned that people travel too fast. so they randomly monitor speeds of a sample of 50 cars and record an average speed of 66 mph. let's assume, for the moment, that people travel at the same speed on holiday weekends as they typically do on other days. calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means for samples of size n

Answers

The probability of a sample of 50 cars recording an average speed of 66 mph or higher is 0.

What is a standard deviation?

Data dispersion in regard to the mean is quantified by a standard deviation. Data are said to be more closely grouped around the mean when the standard deviation is low and more dispersed when the standard deviation is high.

Here, we have

µ = 62 , σ = 5

P ( X < 66 )

By applying the standard deviation formula, we get

Z = ( X - µ ) / (σ/√(n)

Z = ( 66 - 62 ) / ( 5 / √50 )

Z = 5.6569

P (  ( X - µ ) / ( σ/√(n)) < ( 66 - 62 ) / ( 5 / √(50) )

P ( X < 66 ) =  P ( Z < 5.66 )

P ( X < 66 ) = 1

P ( X > 66 )  = 1 - P ( X < 66 )

By applying the standard deviation formula, we get

Z = ( X - µ ) / ( σ / √(n))

Z = ( 66 - 62 ) / ( 5 / √ ( 50 ) )

Z = 5.6569

P (  ( X - µ ) / ( σ / √ (n)) > ( 66 - 62 ) / ( 5 / √(50) )

P ( Z > 5.66 )

P ( X > 66 )  = 1 - P ( Z < 5.66 )

P ( X> 66 )  = 1 - 1

P ( X> 66 )  =  0

Hence, the probability of a sample of 50 cars recording an average speed of 66 mph or higher is 0.
