Explanation Formula used: Slope of a line passing through ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) : m = y 1 − y 2 x 1 − x 2 Point-slope form of the equation of line: y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 ) Calculation: Consider that the line passes through ( 1 , 4 ) and ( − 2 , 3 ) . Step 1: Find the slope of the line using m = y 1 − y 2 x 1 − x 2 . Let, ( 1 , 4 ) = ( x 1 , y 1 ) ( − 2 , 3 ) = ( x 2 , y 2 ) Substitute 1 for x 1 , 4 for y 1 , − 2 for x 2 and 3 for y 2 , Therefore, the slope of the line is, m = y 1 − y 2 x 1 − x 2 = 4 − 3 1 −

Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

part 3 of the question is: A power outage occurs 6 min after the ride started. Passengers must wait for their cage to be manually cranked into the lowest position in order to exit the ride. Sine function model: where h is the height of the last passenger above the ground measured in feet and t is the time of operation of the ride in minutes. What is the height of the last passenger at the moment of the power outage? Verify your answer by evaluating the sine function model. Will the last passenger to board the ride need to wait in order to exit the ride? Explain.

2. The duration of the ride is 15 min. (a) How many times does the last passenger who boarded the ride make a complete loop on the Ferris wheel? (b) What is the position of that passenger when the ride ends?

3. A scientist recorded the movement of a pendulum for 10 s. The scientist began recording when the pendulum was at its resting position. The pendulum then moved right (positive displacement) and left (negative displacement) several times. The pendulum took 4 s to swing to the right and the left and then return to its resting position. The pendulum's furthest distance to either side was 6 in. Graph the function that represents the pendulum's displacement as a function of time. Answer: f(t) (a) Write an equation to represent the displacement of the pendulum as a function of time. (b) Graph the function. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 t 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 -1 -5. -6 -7 -8 -9 -10-
