The tides around Cherokee Bay range between a low of 1 foot to a high of 5 feet. The tide is at its lowest point when time, t, i

s 0 and completes a full cycle over a 24 hour period. What is the amplitude, period, and midline of a function that would model this periodic phenomenon?

Given:
Low tide height = 1 ft
High tide height = 5 ft
Tide period, T = 24  houts

Let the height of the tide be modeled by the expression
h(t) = K + A cos(bt)
Because the period is 24, therefore
b = (2π)/24 = π/12

That is,
h(t) = K + Acos[(πt)/12]

When r=0, h = 1, therefore
K + A cos(0) = 1, ot
 K + A = 1             (1)
When t = 12 (half cycle), h = 5, therefore
K + A cos(π) = 5, or
K - A = 5             (2)

Add (1) and (2):
2K = 6
K = 3
From(1), obtain
A = 1 - 3 = - 2

Answer:
The required function is h(t) = 3  - 2 cos[(πt)/12]
The amplitude is 2 feet
The period is 24 hours
The midline of the function is h = 3 feet
A graph of the function is shown below.

Use the formula for computing future value using compound interest to determine the value of an account at the end of 6 years if
nadezda [96]

Answer: the value of the account at the end of 6 years is is $8577

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 6000

r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

n = 4 because it was compounded 4 times in a year.

t = 6 years

Therefore,.

A = 6000(1+0.06/4)^4 × 6

A = 6000(1+0.015)^24

A = 6000(1.015)^24

A = $8577

koban [17]

Answer:

(k): 65k=c   is true  per kilometer he runs,

Step-by-step explanation:

(k): 65k=c   is true     if Yutaka was to walk and burn only 48 calories then k then is x= walk  and y = run   8x+7y>= c      8x+7y>=  8(48) + 7(65) >= 839

Solve 1/2cot(x)&gt;=1/2 over 0&lt;=x&lt;=2pi
RSB [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying by 2 gives ...

  cot(x) ≥ 1

The cotangent function decreases from ∞ to 1 in the domain (0, π/4], and again in the domain (π, 5π/4]. The solution is the union of these two intervals.

  x ∈ (0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

_____

(a, b] is interval notation for a < x ≤ b
