Answer to Problem 1PE

Solution:

  (a) Given the expression 8x+cd3y+90 , the terms 8x,cdand3y are variable terms, whereas 90 is a constant term.

  (b) The constant factor in a term is called the coefficient.

  (c) Given the expression x , the value of the coefficient is 1 , and the exponent is 1.

  (d) Terms that have the same variables, with corresponding variables raised to the same powers are called liketerms.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  (a) Given the expression 8x+cd3y+90 , the terms 8x,cdand3y are variable terms, whereas 90 is a ______ term.

  (b) The constant factor in a term is called the ______

  (c) Given the expression x , the value of the coefficient is ______, and the exponent is ______.

  (d) Terms that have the same variables, with corresponding variables raised to the same powers are called ______ terms.

Calculation:

To fill the given blanks with appropriate words, we will use below concepts:

A term is a constant or the product of a constant and one or more variables. For example, in the expression 7x2+2xy+5 , 7x2,2xy&5 are terms.

The terms 7x2,2xy are variables terms whereas 5 is a constant.

The constant factor in a term is called coefficient of the term.

Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Only the numerical coefficients are different. In an expression, only like terms can be combined.

Basis the above concepts, we can fill the blanks with appropriate word.

  (a) Given the expression 8x+cd3y+90 , the terms 8x,cdand3y are variable terms, whereas 90 is a constantterm.

  (b) The constant factor in a term is called the coefficient

  (c) Given the expression x , the value of the coefficient is 1 , and the exponent is 1.

  (d) Terms that have the same variables, with corresponding variables raised to the same powers are called liketerms.

Conclusion:

Basis the concepts of terms, factors and the coefficient, we could fill the blanks.

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?
