Answer:
8 turtles
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of Liam's sea turtle sculpture weighs 3\8 pounds and he ships them in a wooden box that weighs 2 pounds.
The weight of the box filled with the sea turtles is 5 pounds.
This means that the weight of the sea turtles in the wooden box is:
5 - 2 = 3 pounds
To find the number of sea turtles in the box, we simply divide the total weight of the turtles in the box by the weight of each turtle. That is:
= 8 turtles
There are 8 turtles in the box.

Answer:
±√58 ≈ ±7.616
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear combination of sine and cosine functions will have an amplitude that is the root of the sum of the squares of the individual amplitudes.
|x| = √(3² +7²) = √58
The motion is bounded between positions ±√58.
_____
Here's a way to get to the relation used above.
The sine of the sum of angles is given by ...
sin(θ+c) = sin(θ)cos(c) +cos(θ)sin(c)
If this is multiplied by some amplitude A, then we have ...
A·sin(θ+c) = A·sin(θ)cos(c) +A·cos(θ)sin(c)
Comparing this to the given expression, we find ...
A·cos(c) = 3 and A·sin(c) = -7
We know that sin²+cos² = 1, so the sum of the squares of these values is ...
(A·cos(c))² +(A·sin(c))² = A²(cos(c)² +sin(c)²) = A²(1) = A²
That is, A² = (3)² +(-7)² = 9+49 = 58. This tells us the position function can be written as ...
x = A·sin(θ +c) . . . . for some angle c
x = (√58)sin(θ +c)
This has the bounds ±√58.
