Help please
any attempts yet? AC is a very straightforward law of cosines case c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcos(C)
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcos(C) c^2=a^2+10^2-2*a*10(Cos (C)
good but you need to keep going and plug in the angle and the other side value (8)
oh right
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcos(C) c^2=8^2+10^2-2*8*10(Cos (110) c^2=14.79
almost, it's c that's equal to 14.79 not c^2
anyway for part II you can set up 14.79/sin(110) = 10/sin(C) to solve for angle C
14.79/sin(110) = 10/sin(C) C=6.28
you were a bit closer the first time sin(C) = 10*sin(110)/14.79 then take the arcsin of both sides make sure your result is in degrees not radians
1.14?
10*sin(110)/14.79 = ?
0.64
good then take the arcsin of that then convert to degrees
39.79
good, so that's your solution
Find the measure of angle A using any method. this is the third part a^2=b^2+c^2-2*b*c(CosA) 8^2=10^2+14.79^2-2*10*14.79 (Cos A) A=0.86
you already have angle C and angle B so finding angle A is a matter of using the fact that all angles in a triangle sum up to 180 going to get lunch, be back in a bit
180-39.79-110=30.21
for the missing angle
good for vertical shift pay attention to what is being added/subtracted from the entire cos expression
-3
-3 is being multiplied not added or subtracted
|dw:1528733233440:dw|
+1
good any ideas on the graph? I would recommend starting with x = 0 and figuring out what direction to go from there
like, if you plug in x = 0 into -3cos(2x) + 1 what do you get?
good, then from pi to 2pi it's the same shape just inverted it will end up going off the graph a bit
it needs to be continuous with the points you have already drawn
|dw:1528734202602:dw|
wait a sec
ok
oh wait since it repeats itself every pi units you just need to draw that same shape from pi to 2pi
|dw:1528734366912:dw|
|dw:1528734371405:dw|
good, then its symmetric about the y-axis so can just make the left side exactly like the right side
good
@Vocaloid
ya there
for part I the question is somewhat misleading because displacement and position are not the same thing that being said I believe they would just want you to plug in t = 0 into the function part II: maximum displacement = amplitude part III: period = 2pi/b part IV: frequency = 1/period from part III
d=3sin(8pi(0))-2 d=2
for part one
part II 0
part III 2pi/0
for part I check the sign again, it should be -2 not 2
d-2
d=-2
for part II: the amplitude is not 0 check what number the sin function is being multiplied by
3
for part I its d=-2 right
yes
okay and amplitude is 0
then for part III calculate 2pi/b note that b is the number being multiplied to x
amplitude is not 0
i meaN 3
sorry lol
2pi/3 = 120 degrees
note that b is not 3 b is the number being multiplied to t
8pi?
good so period = 2pi/(8pi)
2pi/(8pi)= 1/4
good then for part IV frequency = 1/period
1/(1/4)=4
awesome so that's it
