Question 331551: Suppose we have a pendulum that is “y” feet long. Our pendulum makes one complete swing in “t” seconds. Assume “y” and “t” are related by the formula y = .9 t2. If the pendulum is less than 4 feet long, what is the range of values for “t”?
I really need help with this one I don't even know where to start.
Answer by JBarnum(2146) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
from the looks of it u have an equation
and you have what y =
so:
divide by .9
t=2.1082 or -2.1082 since we cant go back in time negative wouldnt be an answer
so the time takes less than 2.1082 seconds
range from [0 , 2.1082]
