The depth of the water at the end of a pier changes periodically along with the movement of tides. On a particular day, low tide

s occur at 12:00 am and 12:30 pm, with a depth of 2.5 m, while high tides occur at 6:15 am and 6:45 pm, with a depth of 5.5 m. Let t = 0 be 12:00 am. Write a cosine model, d = acos(bt) + k, for the depth as a function of time. This amplitude is meters. a =

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.

The minimum depth of 2.5 m occurs at 12:00 am and at 12:30 pm.
Therefore the period i0s T= 12.5 hours.
The maximum depth of 5.5 m occurs at 6:15 am and at 6:45 pm. Therefore the period of T = 12.5 hours is confirmed.

The double amplitude is 5.5 - 2.5 = 3 m, therefore the amplitude is a = 1.5 m.
The mean depth is k = (2.5 + 5.5)/2 = 4.0 m

The model for tide depth is
d=-1.5cos( \frac{2 \pi t}{12.5})+4

That is,
d = -1.5 cos(0.5027t) + 4
where 
d = depth, m
t = time, hours

A plot of the function confirms that the model is correct.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A=h(b1+b2). Express b1 in terms of A, h, and b2.
lorasvet [3.4K]
In order to find b1 from your formula stated we need to do few calculations
A=hb1+hb2, as you wee I multiply h with both bases( b1 and b2)
I will subtract hb2 from both sides
hb1=A-hb2
now I will divide my new expression by h
b1=(A-hb2)/h

Answer: 1) 8/15 2) 2 4/9 3) -13/45

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 + 1/3 = 6/30 + 10/30 = 16/30 = 8/15

2 1/9 + 1/3 = 19/9 + 3/9 = 22/9 = 2 4/9

1/9 - 2/5 = 5/45 - 18/45 = -13/45
