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

The population of a certain species of bird in a region after t years can be modeled by the function P(t)= 1620/1+1.15e^-0.042t
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is  \frac{1620}{1+1.15e^{-0.042t}}

To find the maximum population, we need to set t towards infinity to get our answer.

So, we replace time with maximum (\infty). Let's check:

\frac{1620}{1+1.15e^{-0.042t}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+\frac{1.15}{e^{0.042t}}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+\frac{1.15}{e^{0.042(\infty)}}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+\frac{1.15}{\infty}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+0}\\=\frac{1620}{1}\\=1620

The population of birds approaches 1620 as t goes towards infinity. So we can say the max population of the species is 1620.

Correct answer is A

6) A standard deck has 52 cards, and contains 13 cards of each of the four suits: diamonds, spades, hearts, and clubs. What is t
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

\dfrac{12}{51}\cong\dfrac{4}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 52 cards in a deck and 13 cards of each suit.

The probability of picking a diamond in a complete deck of cards is:

\dfrac {13}{52}

Or the probability is 13 put of 52.

Since you took out 1 diamond card already there would be only 51 cards left and 12 diamond cards left. So you would have a probability of:

\dfrac{12}{51}

If we simplify it you will have a probability of:

\dfrac{4}{17}

Simplify the expression
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3+4\iota}{2+4\iota}=\frac{3+4 \iota}{2+4\iota} \times \frac{2-4 \iota}{2-4 \iota}\\=\frac{6 -12 \iota+8 \iota-16 \iota^2  }{4-16 \iota^2  }\\=\frac{ 6-4 \iota+16}{4+16}\\=\frac{22-4 \iota}{20}
