A mass attached to a spring is pulled toward the floor so that its height above the floor is 10 mm (millimeters). The mass is then released and starts moving up and down reaching maximum and minimum heights of 20 and 10 mm , respectively, with a cycle of 0.8 seconds.
a) Assume that the height h(t) of the mass is a sinusoidal function, where t is the time in seconds, sketch a graph of h from t = 0 to t = 0.8 seconds. t = 0 is the time at which the mass is released.
b) Find a sinusoidal function for the height h(t).
c) For how many seconds is the height of the mass above 17 mm over one cycle?

answer:

i did the test and it is a) The mass is released at t = 0 when h is minimum. Half a cycle later h reaches its maximum and another half a cycle it reaches its minimum again. Hence over oneb) According to the graph obtained in part a), h(t) could be modeled by a cosine function shifted (translated) vertically up and horizontally to the right. Hencec) Below is shown the graph of y = h(t) and y = 17. We first need to find t1 and t2 which are the values of t for which h(t) = 17 by solving the equation hope it helps bbg



Step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

answer: 7. if the functions had a negative leading coefficient and is of even degree, which statement about the graph is true?
