Iver a 24-hour period, the tide in a harbor can be modeled by one period of a sinusoidal function. The tide measures 4.35 ft at

midnight, rises to a high of 8.3 ft, falls to a low of 0.4 ft, and then rises to 4.35 ft by the next midnight.
What is the equation for the sine function f(x), where x represents time in hours since the beginning of the 24-hour period, that models the situation?​

Answer:

f(x)=3.95sin(\frac{\pi}{12}x)+4.35

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recall:</u>

  • Sinusoidal Function -> f(x)=a*sin(bx+c)+d
  • Amplitude -> a
  • Period -> \frac{2\pi}{|b|}
  • Phase Shift -> -\frac{c}{b}
  • Vertical Shift/Midline -> d

<u>Given:</u>

  • Amplitude -> a=8.3-4.35=3.95
  • Period -> \frac{2\pi}{|b|}=\frac{2\pi}{|24|}=\frac{2\pi}{24}=\frac{\pi}{12}
  • Phase Shift -> -\frac{c}{b}=-\frac{0}{24}=0
  • Vertical Shift/Midline -> d=\frac{8.3+0.4}{2}=\frac{8.7}{2}=4.35

<u>Conclusion:</u>

The equation that models the situation is f(x)=3.95sin(\frac{\pi}{12}x)+4.35

Hope this helped! I've attached a graph of the function so you can understand it better!

Step by step directions Square root for 480

<span>  <span>first off your answer is 21.90 and the step by step i  wrote it for you:) Finding the square root of a number is the inverse operation of squaring that number. Remember, the square of a number is that number times itself. </span> The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers. The square root of a number, n, written below is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself.   </span>                                                                                                                                                                          <span>Many mathematical operations have an inverse, or opposite, operation. Subtraction is the opposite of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication, and so on. Squaring, which we learned about in a previous lesson (exponents), has an inverse too, called "finding the square root." Remember, the square of a number is that number times itself. The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 … </span> The square root of a number, n, written <span> is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself. For example,</span> <span>because 10 x 10 = 100</span> Examples Here are the square roots of all the perfect squares from 1 to 100. Finding square roots of of numbers that aren't perfect squares without a calculator 1. Estimate - first, get as close as you can by finding two perfect square roots your number is between. 2. Divide - divide your number by one of those square roots.
3. Average - take the average of the result of step 2 and the root. <span>4. Use the result of step 3 to repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have a number that is accurate enough for you.
</span> Example: Calculate the square root of 10 () to 2 decimal places. <span>1. Find the two perfect square numbers it lies between.
</span> <span><span>Solution:
</span><span>32 = 9 and 42 = 16, so lies between 3 and 4.</span></span> <span>2. Divide 10 by 3. 10/3 = 3.33 (you can round off your answer)</span> <span>3. Average 3.33 and 3. (3.33 + 3)/2 = 3.1667</span> <span>Repeat step 2: 10/3.1667 = 3.1579</span><span>Repeat step 3: Average 3.1579 and 3.1667. (3.1579 + 3.1667)/2 = 3.1623</span> Try the answer --> Is 3.1623 squared equal to 10? 3.1623 x 3.1623 = 10.0001 If this is accurate enough for you, you can stop! Otherwise, you can repeat steps 2 and 3. <span>Note: There are a number of ways to calculate square roots without a calculator. This is only one of them.</span>         <span><span>
