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.

Can you help me to solve this problem
storchak [24]

Answer:

I want to show you how to do this as well, the formula you are working with is a^2+b^2=c^2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 8^2+b^2=12^2

64+b^2=144

subtract 64 from both sides

b^2=80

take the square root of 80 and you get

b= 8.9

if you need more help on this let me know, I am going to list the other answers now because to do it all and show work on here is a lot of typing, all of which I will do if you do not understand the first example. Also the c value can ONLY BE THE HYPOTENUSE VALUE. The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle. For example, 12 would be the C value on number one and in number two it would be 15.

2.) 14.5

3.) 10.3

4.) 18.8

5.) 8

6.) 15

>> 8x - x < 1 - 20

>> 7x < 1 - 20

>> 7x < -19

>> x = -19 / 7
