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

Part A If their food and beverages cost $25.30 and there is an 8% meals tax, how much is the bill? (Find the 8% tax then add it
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax

Meal plus tax = 25.3 + 8/100 * 25.3

Meal plus tax = 25.3 + 2.024             Round later. Find the total.

Meal plus tax = 27.324

Meal plus tax = 27.32 rounded to the nearest cent.

Tip

Total cost = 27.324 + 27.324 * 18 /100

Total cost = 4.91832 + 27.324

Total cost = 32.242

Rounded to nearest cent = 32.24     You should always round at the last step.
