Answer:
a) The sinusoidal equation is;
The function is h = -24·cos[π(t )] + 24
The sketch of one full revolution is attached
b) The height of the nail at 0.8 seconds is 43.42 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The sinusoidal equation that models the nails height can be given as follows;
y = A·cos[B(x - C)]+D
A = The amplitude = Half maximum height = 48/2 = 24 cm
The period = 2·π/B = Time to complete one oscillation = 2 seconds
∴ B = 2·π/2 = π
x = t = Time
C = The horizontal shift
D = the vertical shift = 24 cm
y = The height of the nail = h
We have;
h = -24·cos[π(t - C)] + 24
At t = 0, h = 0, therefore, we have;
0 = -24·cos[π(0 - C)] + 24
24·cos[π(0 - C)] = 24
∴ cos[π(0 - C)] = 24/24 = 1
π(0 - C) = 0
C = 0
The function is h = -24·cos[π(t )] + 24
b) The height of the nail at 0.8 seconds is given as follows;
h = -24×cos[π(0.8)] + 24 =
h = 19.42 + 24 = 43.42 cm.

Equation of a line in point-slope form
The equation of a line in point slope form is expressed as:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Given the following parameters
Point = (-2, 3)
Slope = -1/2
Substitute the given parameters into the formula
y-3 = -1/2(x-(-2))
y-3 = -1/2(x+2)
Write in slope-intercept form
2(y-3) = -(x+2)
2y-2(3) = -x -2
2y - 6 = -x -2
2y = -x + 4
y = -1/2x + 2
The graph of the equation is as shown below
