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.

At a gas station, it takes 14 seconds to pump 2 gallons of gas. if the amount of gasoline pumped varies directly with time, how
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we do this, we know that 2 gallons takes 14 seconds. (2:14)

Based on that data, we can know that 1 gallon takes 7 seconds. (1:7)

-> 2/14 = 1/7

Now we can multiply by 12 to get 12 gallons on one side.

What we do on one side has to happen to the other side.

So, 12 gallons * 1 gallons = 12 gallons and 12 gallons * 7 gallons = 84 gallons.

So the final answer is 85 gallons,

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

2y +  {4}^{2}  = 64 \\ 2y + 16 = 64 \\ 2y = 64 - 16 \\ 2y = 48 \\  \\ y =  \frac{48}{2}  \\  \\ y = 24
