Rachel is bowling with her friends. her bowling ball has a radius of 4 inches. as she bowls she tracks the location of the finger hole above the ground. she starts tracking the location when the finger hole is at the 12 o'clock position and she notices that she got some backspin on the ball and it rotates counter-clockwise.

Question Continuation

The finger hole changes by 45 degrees.

Define a function, f, that gives the height of the finger hole above the ground (in inches) in terms of the angle of rotation (measured in radians) it has swept out from the 12 o'clock position.

f(θ) = r(1 + cos(θ)) for 0 ≤ θ ≤ π/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let represent radius

r = 4 inches

Considering that she starts tracking the location when the finger hole is at the 12 o'clock; this means that the angle measurement at this point is 0°.

Let θ represent the angle

At 12 o'clock mark

θ = 0

When the finger hole changes by 45 degrees

θ = 45°

Convert 45° to radians

θ = 45° * π/180

θ = π/4

So, angle θ is such that θ∈[0, π/4]

This can be represented as

0 ≤ θ ≤ π/4

Calculating the measure of f(θ) in polar coordinates

When θ = 0, f(θ) = r (i.e. the current position of the bowl)

When θ = π/2, f(θ) = rcosθ

This is so because f(θ), being the function of the height is a measure of the radius* cos(θ)

Taking measurement of f(θ) from 0 to π/2

f(θ) = r + rcosθ

f(θ) = r(1 + cos(θ))

So, f(θ) = r(1 + cos(θ)) for 0 ≤ θ ≤ π/4

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)

the number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner and show the number 4 on the second spinner is 2.

spinner 1 spinner 2

1                     1

3                   3

3                   4 = not 1, and 4

only 2 outcomes have passed the given condition.
