Question

The water level in a tank can be modeled by the function h(t)=8cos(pi t /7)+11.5, where t is the number of

Answer 1

Answer:

NO amount of hour passed between two consecutive times when the water in the tank is at its maximum height

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the water tank level modelled by the function h(t)=8cos(pi t /7)+11.5. At maximum height, the velocity of the water tank is zero

Velocity is the change in distance with respect to time.

V = {d(h(t)}/dt = -8π/7sin(πt/7)

At maximum height, -8π/7sin(πt/7) = 0

-Sin(πt/7) = 0

sin(πt/7) = 0

Taking the arcsin of both sides

arcsin(sin(πt/7)) = arcsin0

πt/7 = 0

t = 0

This shows that NO hour passed between two consecutive times when the water in the tank is at its maximum height
