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)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that has m = 5/4 through (-4,-3)
timama [110]

Answer:

y=5/4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so in the point (-4,-3) -4 is x and -3 is y. Now, since you have the slope, 5/4, you can put it into an equation. -3= 5/4(-4) + b. When you multiply 5/4 x -4 you get -3=-5 + b so then add 5 to both sides to get rid of it and you have 2=b. And your equation would be y=5/4x + 2

jamal is going to borrow 14000 from his credit union to buy a used car. the APR is 7.0% and the length of the loan is 4 years. h
ELEN [110]
The formula to use here would be:

A = P(1+r)^t  where P is the principal (starting) amount, r is the rate of interest, and t is time. Knowing this, plug in your values:

A = 14,000(1+0.07)^4 once worked out, you should get $18,351.14414 < this is the total amount he would be paying at the end of 4 years. to find the interest, subtract this amount from the principal amount (14,000):

$18,5351.14414 - 14,000 = 4,351.14414 < this is the amount of interest. Round your answer. 

Answer: Jamal will pain $4,351.14 interest.

(15.2*0.25-48.51/14.7)/x=(13/44-2/11-5/66/2.50)1.2/(3.2+0.8(5.5-3.25)
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

x = 41.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The above equation, would be simplified or divided into parts;

Therefore, the given equation becomes;

A/x = B/C

Where;

A = (15.2*0.25-48.51/14.7)

B = (13/44-2/11-5/66/2.50)1.2

C = 3.2+0.8(5.5-3.25)

x = unknown variable.

<u>Part A</u>

(15.2*0.25-48.51/14.7) = (15.2*0.25 - 3.3)

A = (3.8 - 3.3)

A = 0.5

<u>Part B</u>

(13/44-2/11-5/66/2.50)1.2 = (0.3 - 0.18 - 0.030) * 1.2

B = 0.09 * 1.2

B = 0.108

<u>Part C</u>

(3.2+0.8(5.5-3.25)

C = 4*(2.25)

C = 9

<em>Substituting the values into the equation, we have;</em>

0.5/x = 0.108/9

<em>Cross-multiplying, we have;</em>

9 * 0.5 = 0.108x

4.5 = 0.108x

x = 4.5/0.108

x = 41.67
