Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that could model this periodic phenomenon will be of the form
The tide varies between 3ft and 9ft, which means its amplitude 
is
and its midline 
is
.
Furthermore, since at 
the tide is at its lowest ( 3 feet ), we know that the trigonometric function we must use is 
.
The period of the full cycle is 14 hours, which means
giving us
With all of the values of the variables in place, the function modeling the situation now becomes
Answer:
So any time you are multiplying something, you are making "groups of"
so 3 groups of 2 = 6, 4 groups of 3 = 12
But with decimals or fractions, because they are a value less than zero, the numbers become increasingly small instead of bigger, like standard multiplication.
So for example, 1 group of 1/2 = 1/2
2 groups of 1/4 = 1/2
and so on
hope this helps!
F(8)= 8^0+8^2/3+8^-2/3
= 1+cube√(8)^2 + cube√(8)^-2
= (1+4)/4
=5/4
