I cant figure out this one at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have the answer i think but like it doesnt show the process

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i found the answer like the file i attached above

OpenStudy (turingtest):

that is your answer, or /the/ answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the answer lol

OpenStudy (turingtest):

huh... I see\[0\le z\le48\]\[0\le\theta\le2\pi\]now the edge is a trig function\[A\sin(Bx+C)\]from the pic we can see that \(A=1\) and the period is \(T=6={2\pi\over|B|}\implies B=\frac\pi3\) so we have\[0\le r\le \sin(\frac\pi3z)\]now how to relate it to the rest of that stuff...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

why there is a phase shift of 3 I cannot figure out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i def cant either figure that out

OpenStudy (turingtest):

besides that though, it makes sense, right? or did I lose you before that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well umm i gotta reread it lol

OpenStudy (turingtest):

sorry, that should be \[0\le r\le\cos(\frac\pi3z)\]in the last line above...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like y is it cos or sin like how wld u determine that?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

look at z=0 the shape is at its widest there \[\cos0=1\]so that is where it is the widest if it were sin we would have the thinnest part of the shape at z=0, because \[\sin0=0\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

imagine if it were a straight cylinder with radius 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okk i get that

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the edge would be like|dw:1334114998699:dw|but it is wavy, so we add...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

|dw:1334115084400:dw|
