The depth of the water at the end of a pier changes periodically along with the movement of tides. On a particular day, low tide

s occur at 12:00am and 12:30pm, with a dept of 2.5 m, while high tides occur at 6:15am and 6:45pm, with a depth of 5.5 m. Let t=0 be 12:00 am. Which periodic function, since or cosine would be simpler model for the situation?

Answer:

x(t) = -1.5cos(\frac{2 \pi t}{12.5}) + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

General formula  

x(t) = -Acos(\frac{2 \pi t}{T}) + B

First transform data

12:00 am -> t=0 -> x=2.5

6:15 am -> t=6.25 -> x=5.5

12:30 pm -> t=12.5 -> x=2.5

6:45pm -> t=18.75 -> x=5.5

Period (T) is the time between two equal values of x.  

t=0 -> x=2.5  

t=12.5 -> x=2.5

t=6.25 -> x=5.5

t=18.75 -> x=5.5

T = 12.5 - 0 = 18.75 - 6.25 = 12.5

B is the shift of the cosine function with respect to y-coordinate. It is halfway between maximum and minimum values of the function

B = (5.5 + 2.5)/2 = 4

The amplitude (A) is the distance from the highest point to B  

A = 5.5 - 4 = 1.5  

Therefore, the correlation is

x(t) = -1.5cos(\frac{2 \pi t}{12.5}) + 4

Model verification

x(0) = -1.5 + 4 = 2.5

x(6.25) = 1.5 + 4 = 5.5

x(12.5) = -1.5 + 4 = 2.5

The answer is 1.5m

0.5(5.5-2.5)m = 0.5(3)m = 1.5m

19. A cross section of a water trough is in the shape of trapezoid with bases measuring 4 m and 12 m. what is the length of the
ludmilkaskok [199]

Given:

The bases of trapezoid measuring 4 m and 12 m.

To find:

The median of the trapezoid.

Solution:

The median of the trapezoid is the average of its bases.

\text{Median}=\dfrac{\text{Upper base + Lower base}}{2}

The bases of trapezoid measuring 4 m and 12 m. So, the median of the trapezoid is:

\text{Median}=\dfrac{4+12}{2}

\text{Median}=\dfrac{16}{2}

\text{Median}=8

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Find two supplementary angels such that the measure of the first angle is 38° less than three times the measure of the second
stiks02 [169]


angle 1+ angle 2=180    supplementary angles add up to 180

angle 2=x     assign angle a variable

angle 1= 3x-38      find equation for first angle

3x+x-38=180      set both angles added together equal to 180

4x-38=180        combine like terms

4x=218        add 38 to both sides

x=54.5        divide by 4

angle 2= 54.5

angle 2= (3x54.5)-38   plug back in and solve

angle 1= 125.5
