The equation models the height "h" in centimeters after "t" seconds of a weight attached to the end of a spring that has been stretched and then released. h= 7cos(pi/3 t) a. solve the equation for t b. find the times at which the weight is first at a height of 1 cm, of 3 cm, and of 5 cm above the rest position. round your answers to the nearest hundredth. c. find the times at which the weight is at a height of 1 cm, of 3 cm, and of 5 cm below the rest position for the second time. round your answers to the nearest hundredth. explain each step! !

a. Solve for t the way you do any "solve for" problem: undo the operations that are done to the variable of interest. The inverse operation for the cosine function is the arccosine function.

b.

For h=1 cm, t ≈ (3/π)arccos(1/7) ≈ 1.36 seconds

For h=3 cm, t ≈ (3/π)arccos(3/7) ≈ 1.08 seconds

For h=5 cm, t≈ (3/π)arccos(5/7) ≈ 0.74 seconds

c. The period of the oscillation can be found by setting (π/3)t = 2π and solving for t. That value is t=6. Due to the symmetry of the cosine function, the times of interest for this part will be 1 1/2 periods less the times found in part b.

For h=-1 cm, t = (1.5×6) - 1.36 = 7.64 seconds

For h=-3 cm, t = 9 - 1.08 = 7.92 seconds

For h=-5 cm, t = 9 - 0.74 = 8.26 seconds

Note that when you use your calculator to find the arccos( ) values, it must be in radians mode, not degrees mode.

ik how do do this just give me a few minutes and i will give it to

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3
