Answer:

The sinusoidal function that model the depth in terms of time, 'x', is presented here as follows;

f(x) = 39·sin((π/3)·x - π) + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A sinusoidal function is given by the general function as follows;

y = A·sin(B·x + C) + D

Where;

A = The amplitude = (y_{max} - y_{min})/2 = (The high tide - The low tide)/2 = (83 ft. - 5 ft.)/2 = 39 ft.

The period, T = 2·π/b = 6 hours

∴ B = 2·π/T = 2·π/6 = π/3

D = The vertical shift = The low tide = 5 ft.

The horizontal phase shift, 'C', is given as follows;

3 hrs = -C/B = -C/(π/(3 hr))

C = 3 hrs × -(π/(3 hr)) = -π

∴ C = -π

y = 39·sin((π/3)·x - π) + 5

The sinusoidal function that model the depth in terms of time, 'x', is therefore given as follows;

f(x) = 39·sin((π/3)·x - π) + 5

Find angle abc (2x+14) (x+7)
melisa1 [442]
It's a complementary angle, so just solve for x and subtract the CBD from 90, 
First, we have to solve for x.
2x + 14 + x + 7 = 90
Combine like terms
3x + 21 = 90
Balance, subtract 21 from each side.
3x = 69
Divide 3 from each side
x = 23.
So know that we know x is 23, we can go about it 2 ways, subtracting the other angle with 90 or just substituting the variable, I'd just substitute the variable for it so just do 23 + 7. That equals 30, angle ABC = 30.

Kameron walks 3 miles in 18 minutes.how many can kameron walk in 120 minutes
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

start by dividing 18 from 120(to find the amount of 18's in 120)

120 / 18 = 6.<u>6</u>

meaning there are 6.<u>6</u> sets of 18 in 120

multiply 3 by 6.<u>6</u>(since there's 3 miles for every 18 minutes)

3 x 6.<u>6</u> = 20
