DAILY DOUBLE!
These are the transformations to the x-coordinates of the function y = x4 as it becomes:
y = (1/4)[-2(x-1)]4 + 2
What is:
- reflection over the y-axis
- horizontal compression by factor 1/2
- horizontal/phase shift to the right by 1 unit?
This is the average rate of change of the distance traveled by a boat during the first 10s after leaving shore.
The distance, d, traveled by the boat after t seconds is given by:
d(t) = 0.002t3 + 0.05t2 + 0.3t
What is 1 m/s? (units must be given)
This is the equation used to model the motion of the piston in the following scenario:
"The piston in a lawn mower motor moves up and down 30 times in 1 s. Its total travel from the top position to the bottom position is 10 cm. The vertical position is y, in cm, and time, t, is in seconds. Assume the piston starts from the equilibrium position."
What is y = 5sin(60pi*t)?
(do not accept other equivalent expressions that are off with a phase shift due to the phrase: "Assume the piston starts from the equilibrium position")
This is the answer to the followig question
