Siree wants to go surfing for one hour tomorrow. The height of the waves on a local beach can be approximated by the function H(

x)=6sin(xπ8)+8, where x is time in hours.
Assume x=0 is midnight, x=1 is 1 a.m., x=2 is 2 a.m., etc.


When will the waves be at least 8 feet in the next 12 hours?


A.The height of the waves are at least 8 feet between at 4:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.


B. The height of the waves are at least 8 feet between at 12:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.


C.The height of the waves are at least 8 feet between at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.


D.The height of the waves are at least 8 feet between at 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Please help, I don't know where to start! Can I get the brainliest person?

Answer:

  • Option B. <em><u>The height of the waves are at least 8 feet between 12:00 am and 8:00 am.</u></em>

Explanation:

The correct function H(x) that approximate the height of the waves is:

  • H(x)=6sin(\frac{x\pi}{8})+8

Now, understand what each term and factor mean:

<u>1. Coefficient 6:</u>

  • 6 is the amplitude of the wave. It means that the crest of the wave is 6 feet above the rest point, and the trough is 6 feet below the rest point.

<u>2. Constant term 8:</u>

  • 8 is the height of the rest point of the wave. That means that the crest of the wave will b 6 feet + 8 feet = 14 feet; and the trough will be - 6 feet + 8 feet = 2 feet.

        This is the wave will be oscilating between 2 and 14 feet.

<u>3. Sine part of the function:</u>

  • sin(\frac{x\pi }{8})

The period of the sine function is given by:

  • \frac{2\pi }{\pi/8 }=16

That means that the pattern of the wave will repeat every 16 hours (period = 16 hours).

<u>4. Calculate the height of the wave at midnight, i.e x = 0</u>

  • H(0)=6sin(0)+8=8

Then, then the waves will be 8 feet the first time at midnight.

<u>5. Find the time when the wave reaches the maximumm height first time:</u>

  • H(max) = 6 feet + 8 feet = 14

  • 14=6sin(\frac{x\pi }{8})+8\\\\ 6=6sin(\frac{x\pi }{8})\\\\sin(\frac{x\pi }{8})=1\\\\ \frac{x\pi }{8}=\frac{\pi }{2}\\\\ x=4

Hence, the wave will be at its maximum height (14 feet) at 4 am.

<u>6. Use symmetry.</u>

The wave tool 4 hours to go from 8 feet to 16 feet; given the symmetry of the function it will take other 4 hours to fall from 16 feet to 8 feet.

Hence, the wave will be 8 feet again at 4am + 4 = 8 am.

<u>7 Conclusion:</u>

  • The height of the waves will be at least 8 feet between 12:00 am (midnight) and 8:00 am. This is the option B.

Ian has the option of purchasing or renting a home. The purchase option requires a loan of $100,000 for a 20-year term at a 4.9%
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "70.56".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Loan requires, PV = $100,000

Years = 20

Number of months, n = 240

Rate interest = 4.90000%

Monthly rate, r = 0.408333%

Monthly rental payment = $725

As we know,

PV=PMT\times (\frac{1}{r})\times [1-[\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}]]

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒  100000=PMT\times (\frac{1}{0.004083333})\times [1-(\frac{1}{(1+0.004083333^{240})})]

⇒  100000=PMT\times 152.8014557

⇒  PMT=\frac{100000}{152.8014557}

⇒  PMT=654.44

Now,

Saving \ Per \ Month =Rent \ per \ month-PMT

On putting the values, we get

⇒                             =725-654.44

⇒                             =70.56

Find the area of the figure
MakcuM [25]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  24.885 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the area of a triangle.

  A = 1/2bh . . . . . . . where b is the base length and h is the height perpendicular to the base

  A = 1/2(7.9 in)(6.3 in) = 24.885 in²

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The given side lengths cannot form a triangle, as the side shown as 14.7 is too long for the ends of the other segments to connect to. The attachment shows that side should be 11.97 in.

The slope of a line is 5 /7. What is the slope of any line that is perpendicular to that line?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

-7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the original line. so just switch the numbers and put the top number into a negative.

If you spin the spinner below twice, what is P(vowel, then Q)? A. 1/10 B. 1/9 C. 2/9 D. 1/12 Answer correctly and I will give br
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The probability of spinning a vowel, then Q, is 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the probability of each event occurring. There are three vowels out of 6 letters and 1 Q, so the chances of spinning a vowel is 3/6 or 1/2 and the chances of spinning a Q is 1/6. Multiply the probabilities of the two events occurring to find the probability of a compound event. 1/2*1/6 = 1/12. Hope this helps!
