Algebra 2, please help! thank you The function y = 2 cos 3(x + 2π∕3) +1 has a phase shift (or horizontal shift) of

A) –2π∕3
B) 3
C) 1
D) 2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard cosine function has the form:

Where |a| is the amplitude, 2π / b is the period, c is the phase shift, and d is the vertical shift.

We have the function:

We can rewrite this as:

Therefore, a = 2, b = 3, c = -2π/3, and d = 1.

Our phase shift is represented by c. Thus, the phase shift is -2π/3.

Our answer is A.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

there are 36 inches in a yard

25 : 36 = 0.69 yards (you can round to 0.70)
