Describe why the earth experiences high and low tides.

The moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans so that there are "bulges" in the ocean on both sides of the planet. The moon pulls water toward it, and this causes the bulge toward the moon. The bulge on the side of the Earth opposite the moon is caused by the moon "pulling the Earth away" from the water on that side.If you are on the coast and the moon is directly overhead, you should experience a high tide. If the moon is directly overhead on the opposite side of the planet, you should also experience a high tide.

During the day, the Earth rotates 180 degrees in 12 hours. The moon, meanwhile, rotates 6 degrees around the earth in 12 hours. The twin bulges and the moon's rotation mean that any given coastal city experiences a high tide every 12 hours and 25 minutes or so.

Hope this helps! :)

Task 1: Functions and Transformations

Transformations can be thought of as functions that take the points from one object (the pre-

image) to the corresponding points on another object (the image). In the unit, you saw

examples of how algebra can be used to rewrite the coordinates of points after they have

been transformed. You can also use function notation to rewrite the coordinates. For

example, these statements show several different ways you can use function notation for the

translation, T, of a point 6 units in the positive x-direction:

• T(x, y) = (x + 6, y)

T:(, y) = (x + 6, y)

• T<6, 0>(x, y) = (x + 6, y)

16. o(x, y) = (x + 6, 9)

.

a. Write functions for the following transformations using function notation. Choose a

different letter to represent each function. For example, you can use R to represent

rotations. Assume that a positive rotation occurs in the counterclockwise direction.
