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.

two lines intersect.One has gradient 4 and y-axis intercept 3. The other has gradient 6 and cuts the y-axis at (0,1). What is th
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(1, 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Then the equations of the 2 lines are

y = 4x + 3 → (1)

y = 6x + 1 → (2)

Substitute y = 6x + 1 into (1)

6x + 1 = 4x + 3 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x + 1 = 3 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y

Substituting into (1)

y = 4(1) + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

Point of intersection = (1, 7 )

Y is such that 4y _ 7<= 3y and 3y <= 5y +8. What range of values of y satisfies both inequalities
fgiga [73]

Answer:

<h3>-4≤y≤7</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expressions

4y - 7 ≤ 3y and 3y≤5y+8

For 4y - 7 ≤ 3y

Collect like terms

4y - 3y ≤ 7

y ≤ 7

For  3y≤5y+8

Collect like terms

3y - 5y ≤ 8

-2y ≤ 8

y ≥ 8/-2

y ≥ -4

Combining both solutions

-4≤y≤7

<em>Hence the range of values of y that satisfies both inequalities is -4≤y≤7</em>
