Question

Suppose the high tide in Seattle occurs at 1:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at which time the water is 10 feet above the height of the low tide. Low tides occur 6 hours after high tides. Suppose there are two high tides and two low tides every day and the height of the tide varies sinusoidally.
a) Find a formula for the function y = h(t) that computes the height of the tide above low tide at time t. (In other words, y = 0 corresponds to low tide)
b) What is the tide height at 11:00 am?

Answer 1

Answer:

The low tide, when it is 10 feet below the high tide would be at 7am and 7pm
