- For Questions 1 through 6, fill in each blank with the appropriate word or expression. To calculate the amplitude for a function, take half the __________ of the ___________ value and the ___ _______ value of the function.arrow_forwardSuppose a = 9 and A = 20 degrees.arrow_forwardSketch the angle and write the sec and tan of the angle if the terminal side of the angle passes through (3, -6).

- Barbara boards a Ferris wheel with a 50-foot radius. The center of the Ferris wheel is 60 feet above the ground. When Barbara boards, the Ferris wheel is at the bottom of its rotation. The angle swept out as Barbara rotates is measured from the 3 o'clock position. a) Define a function f that relates Barbara's vertical distance above the ground v (measured in feet) as a function of her angle of rotation, 0 (measured in radians) from the right side of the Ferris wheel. b) Suppose that the Ferris wheel rotates so that each cart moves at a constant rate of 8 feet per second and makes no stops. Express the distance traveled by Barbara s (in feet) as a function of the number of seconds t since the Ferris wheel began to turn. c) Express O the angle of rotation from the right side of the Ferris wheel in terms of t the number of seconds since the Ferris wheel began to turn.arrow_forwardSuppose a person begins walking away from a light pole at a constant rate of 0.88 meters per second. The person knows that as they walk away from the pole that the length of their shadow increases. The person is wondering if the length of their shadow is also changing at a constant rate. Assume that θ is measured in degrees. The light pole is still 3.69 meters tall, and the person is still 1.92 meters tall. a. Write an expression for the distance of the person from the light pole, measured in meters, in terms of the number of seconds (t) since they began walking: d= b. Using what you know about similar triangles, write an expression for the length of the person's shadow, measured in meters, in terms of the number of seconds (t) since they began walking: s= c. Find the average rate of change of the length of the person's shadow, in meters, with respect to time over each given interval. i. The first 11 seconds since the person began walking. ii. From 11 seconds to 19 seconds…arrow_forwardEvaluate. sec(-60°) 2 -2 √3/2arrow_forward
- A hamster runs in its wheel whose radius is 3 inches. The wheel completes 9.2 revolutions in 8 seconds. What is the linear velocity of the hamster's wheel?2. A wheel completes 5.6 revolutions in 8 seconds. What is the angular velocity of the wheel in radians per minute? Enter your answer, in exact form as a simplified fraction, in the box.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions. a. If Laura has traveled 1.4 km along the ski trail then the angle has swept out radians. Preview b. If Laura has traveled 3 km along the ski trail then the angle has swept out radians. Preview c. Write a formula that expresses the number of radians 0 swept out by the angle in terms of the number of km d Laura has traveled since she started skiing. Previewarrow_forward
