Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Total Distance = 3Ft
a) Determine the amplitude and period of a sinusoidal function that models the bobbing buoy.
Amplitude = 3/2 = 1.5 period = 10 second
No ph. Shift
b) Write an equation of a function that models the buoy with x=0 at its highest point.
y= 1.5 cos ( )
Answer:
p > 5 and p <-8
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, you first need to isolate p.
First add 6 on both sides of the equation:
Then subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
The divide both sides by 2.
Another solution is possible because of the absolute value.
If
Then
<em>Thus we can solve the second solution:</em>
Isolate P again by subtracting both sides by 3
Then divide both sides by 2:
