Over a 24-hour period, the tide in a harbor can be modeled by one period of a sinusoidal function. The tide measures 4.35 ft at

midnight, rises to a high of 8.3 ft, falls to a low of 0.4 ft, and then rises to 4.35 ft by the next midnight.
What is the equation for the sine function f(x), where x represents time in hours since the beginning of the 24-hour period, that models the situation?

f(x)=

Answer:

  f(x) = 4.35 +3.95·sin(πx/12)

Step-by-step explanation:

For problems of this sort, a sine function is used that is of the form ...

  f(x) = A + Bsin(2πx/P)

where A is the average or middle value of the oscillation, B is the one-sided amplitude, P is the period in the same units as x.

It is rare that a tide function has a period (P) of 24 hours, but we'll use that value since the problem statement requires it. The value of A is the middle value of the oscillation, 4.35 ft in this problem. The value of B is the amplitude, given as 8.3 ft -4.35 ft = 3.95 ft. Putting these values into the form gives ...

  f(x) = 4.35 + 3.95·sin(2πx/24)

The argument of the sine function can be simplified to πx/12, as in the Answer, above.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

step 1

Find the average growth per year of the populations of rabbits farm A

Over the first 2 years

for t=0

numbers of rabbits=5 (is not exact)

for t=2

numbers of rabbits=40

average=[40-5]/2---------> 17.5

step 2

Find the average growth per year of the populations of rabbits farm B

Over the first 2 years

for t=0

numbers of rabbits=5 (is not exact)

for t=2

numbers of rabbits=30

average=[30-5]/2---------> 12.5

step 3

Compare the average growth per year of the populations of rabbits on both farms

farm A=17.5

farm B=12.5

the average rate of population growth of rabbits in farm A is greater than average rate of population growth of rabbits in farm B by about 5 rabbits per year.

therefore

the answer is the option C)

the average rate of population growth of rabbits in farm A is greater than average rate of population growth of rabbits in farm B by about 6 rabbits per year.
