How will you spend your average life expectancy of 78 years? The bar graph shows the average number of years you will devote to each of your most time-consuming activities. Exercises 1-2 are based on the data displayed by the graph.
According to the American Bureau of Labor Statistics, you will devote 32 years to sleeping and eating. The number of years sleeping will exceed the number of years eating by 24. Over your lifetime, how many years will you spend on each of these activities?

Be sure to state your claim, provide your evidence, and provide your reasoning before submitting.arrow_forwardDirections: For problems 1 through 3, read each question carefully and be sure to show all work. 1. What is the phase shift for y = 2sin(2x-)? 2. What is the amplitude of y = 7cos(2x+л)? 3. What is the period of y = sin(3x-π)? Directions: For problems 4 and 5, you were to compare and contrast the two functions in each problem situation. Be sure to include a discussion of similarities and differences for the periods, amplitudes, y-minimums, y-maximums, and any phase shift between the two graphs. Write in complete sentences. 4. y 3sin(2x) and y = 3cos(2x) 5. y 4sin(2x) and y = cos(3x- -플)arrow_forward2.
