You can put this solution on YOUR website!vertical distance between a wave's high point and low point is 1.8 and they cycle is repeated every 4 seconds. determine a sinusoidal equation
------------------
h(t) = 0.9*sin(2pi*t/4) t in seconds, vertical units not specified
h(t) = 0.9*sin(pi*t/2)
------------------------
use your model to determine when the boat is 0.5 abovie its mean position
0.5 = 0.9*sin(pi*t/2)
sin(pi*t/2) = 5/9 =~ 0.55555
pi*t/2 = arcsin(0.55555) =~ 0.589, 2.5526 radians
t = 0.589*2/pi
t =~ 0.375 + 4n seconds, n = 0,1,2,3,... rising
-----------------
t = 2.5526*2/pi
t =~ 1.625 + 4n seconds, n = 0,1,2,3.... falling
----------------
Or, t = (1 +/- 0.625) + 4n seconds, n = 0,1,2,3,...

You can put this solution on YOUR website!A baseball is thrown straight upwards with an initial velocity of 224 ft/s.
At what time(s) does the ball reach 832 feet?
--------------------
h(t) = -16t^2 + 224t gives the height in feet as a function of t in seconds.
832 = -16t^2 + 224t
-t^2 + 14t - 52 = 0

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.
First, we need to compute the discriminant : .
The discriminant -12 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

---------------
If you set it to zero, you can find the time when it hits the ground, when h=0. That's how long it is in the air.
h(t)=-16^2+vt+s
Actually, it's h(t)=-16t^2+vt+s
h(t) = -16t^2 + 10t + 3
-16t^2 + 10t + 3 = 0

Linear-systems/299523: Find an equation of ther line that contains the point (1,0) and is perpendicular to 2x + y = -4 1 solutions
Answer 215187 by Alan3354(31521) on 2010-05-02 19:16:09 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!A line and a point example.
Write in standard form the eqation of a line that satisfies the given conditions. Perpendicular to 9x+3y=36, through (1,2)
-----------------
Find the slope of the line. Do that by putting the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. That means solve for y.
9x+3y = 36
3y= - 9x + 36
y = -3x + 12
The slope, m = -3
------------------
The slope of lines parallel is the same.
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, m = +1/3
----------------
Use y = mx + b and the point (1,2) to find b.
2 = (1/3)*1 + b
b = 5/3
The equation is y = (1/3)x + 5/3 (slope-intercept form)
x - 3y = -5 (standard form)

Answer 215185 by Alan3354(31521) on 2010-05-02 19:13:51 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Given 2 points example.
Find the equation of the line thru the points (2,1) and (3,5)
---------------------
This is a 2 step process. First find the slope of the line thru the points.
slope, m = diffy/diffx
m = (5-1)/(3-2)
m = 4
---------
Now use y = mx + b with either point to find b, the y-intercept.
y = mx + b
5 = 4*3 + b
b = -7
-------
y = mx + b
y = 4x - 7 is the answer.
------------------------
Another approach using determinants:
|x y 1|
|2 1 1| = 0
|3 5 1|
--------
x(1-5) - y(2-3) + 1(10-3) = 0
-4x + y + 7 = 0
y = 4x - 7

Linear-equations/299391: write an equation of the line containing the giving point and parallel to the givenline. express your answer in the form y=mx+b (-4,5);8x=9y+4 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!A line and a point example.
Write in standard form the eqation of a line that satisfies the given conditions. Perpendicular to 9x+3y=36, through (1,2)
-----------------
Find the slope of the line. Do that by putting the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. That means solve for y.
9x+3y = 36
3y= - 9x + 36
y = -3x + 13
The slope, m = -3
------------------
The slope of lines parallel is the same.
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, m = +1/3
----------------
Use y = mx + b and the point (1,2) to find b.
2 = (1/3)*1 + b
b = 5/3
The equation is y = (1/3)x + 5/3 (slope-intercept form)
x - 3y = -5 (standard form)

Linear-equations/299303: trying to do linear graphs. having trouble with x-y=10. can you help? 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!trying to do linear graphs. having trouble with x-y=10. can you help?
---------------
It's a straight line, so you need 2 points.
x-y = 10
y = x - 10
Pick values for x, find y
x = 0, y = -10 --> (0,-10)
x = 10, y = 0 --> (10,0)
-------------
Plot them, draw a line thru them

----------------
1200/4 = 300 mph groundspeed
1200/3 = 400 mph groundspeed
The plane's airspeed is the average, = 350 mph
----------------
The windspeed is the difference, = 50 mph
