14. Roger is on a playground swing, and he is swinging back and forth in such a way that the height, h, in feet, of the swing off the ground is given by the equation h=3cos(3π/2t) +5, where t is in seconds. How many seconds elapses between two consecutive times that the swing is at its maximum height?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The time [tex]t = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]  seconds elapses between two consecutive times that the swing is at its maximum height  'h' = 2

 Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Step(i):-

Given function [tex]h(t) = 3 cos (\frac{3\pi }{2 t} ) +5[/tex] ....(i)

By using derivative formulas

[tex]\frac{d cosx }{d x} = -sinx[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d x^{n} }{d x} = n x^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d t^{-1} }{d x} = -1 t^{-1-1} = - t^{-2} = \frac{-1}{t^{2} }[/tex]

Step(ii):-

Differentiating equation(i) with respective to 't'

[tex]h^{l} (t) = 3(-sin(\frac{3\pi }{2t})\frac{d}{dt} (\frac{3\pi }{2t } )+0[/tex]  ...(ii)

[tex]h^{l} (t) = 3(-sin(\frac{3\pi }{2t})(\frac{-3\pi }{2t^{2} } )+0[/tex]

Equating zero

[tex]h^{l} (t) = 3(-sin(\frac{3\pi }{2t})(\frac{-3\pi }{2t^{2} } )=0[/tex]

[tex]3(-sin(\frac{3\pi }{2t})(\frac{-3\pi }{2t^{2} } ) = 0[/tex]

on simplification , we get

[tex](sin(\frac{3\pi }{2t}) = 0[/tex]

now we use formulas

sin 0 = 0 and sinπ = 0

General solution

[tex](sin(\frac{3\pi }{2t}) = sin\pi[/tex]

[tex](\frac{3\pi }{2t}) = \pi[/tex]

Cancellation 'π' on both sides, we get

[tex]3 = 2 t[/tex]

Dividing '2' on both sides , we get

[tex]t = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Again differentiating with respective to 't' , we get  

[tex]h^{ll} (t) = 3(-cos(\frac{3\pi }{2t})(\frac{-3\pi }{2t^{2} } )+ (-3)(-sin(\frac{3\pi }{2t} )(\frac{6\pi }{2t^{3} }[/tex]

Put t= 3/2 and simplification

[tex]h^{ll} (t) < 0[/tex]

The maximum height

                   [tex]h(t) = 3 cos (\frac{3\pi }{2 t} ) +5[/tex]

               [tex]h(\frac{3}{2} ) = 3 cos (\frac{3\pi }{2(\frac{3}{2} )} )+5[/tex]

              [tex]h(\frac{3}{2} ) = 3 cos (\pi )+5 = -3+5 =2[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]  seconds elapses between two consecutive times that the swing is at its maximum height  'h' = 2

Conclusion:-

The time [tex]t = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]  seconds elapses between two consecutive times that the swing is at its maximum height  'h' = 2
