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!

56 is 75% of what number
motikmotik
56 is 75% of 74.6667

Convert the percentage into a decimal by dividing it over 100:
\frac{75}{100} = 0.75

Divide 56 over 0.75:
\frac{56}{0.75} = 74.6667
