A certain bay with very high tides displays the following behavior. In one 12-h period the water starts at mean sea level, rises

to 21 ft above, drops to 21 ft below, then returns to mean sea level. Assuming that the motion of the tides is simple harmonic, find an equation that describes the height of the tide in this bay above mean sea level. (Let y be the height above sea level in feet, and t the number of hours since the start of the 12-h period.)

Answer:

the required equation is; y = 21 sin(πt/6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Water rises above sea level = 21 ft

Water drops below sea level = 21 ft

so

maximum = 21 ft and also

minimum = 21 ft

Amplitude = ( maximum + minimum ) / 2

Amplitude = ( 21 + 21 ) / 2

Amplitude = ( 21 + 21 ) / 2 = 42/2 = 21 ft

Period = 12 hours

and we know that; period = 2π/b

so

12 = 2π/b

12b = 2π

b = 2π / 12

b = π/6

Standard equation for simple harmonic is; y = asin(bt)

we substitute

y = 21 sin(πt/6)

Hence the required equation is; y = 21 sin(πt/6)

EASY MATHS PLS HELP​
Fofino [41]

Answer:

(1.25, - 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 4x + 3y = - 20 → (1)

4x + 2y = - 5 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term

5y = - 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = - 5

Substitute y = - 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (2)

4x + 2(- 5) = - 5, that is

4x - 10 = - 5 ( add 10 to both sides )

4x = 5 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25

Solution is (1.25, - 5 )

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! 5 POINTS!!

The speed of the car per minute is 3,520 feet (choice c). This is because in order to solve the problem, you have to convert 40 mi/h into feet. Since there are 5,280 feet per mile, you have to do 5,280 x 40, which is 211,200, which is the number of feet per hour. But, the question is asking for ft/min. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so you divide 211,200 by 60, which is 3,520. So, the speed of the car per minute is 3,520 feet.
