To get the function y = <span>-2+5sin(pi/12(x-2)), the maximum value can be determined by differentiating the function and equating it to zero. The value of x will give the maximum value of the function.
dy/dx = 5 cos (pi/12 (x-2)) (pi/12)
dy/dx = 5 pi/12 cos(pi/12 (x-2))
Equate to zero</span>:
<span>5 pi/12 cos(pi/12 (x-2)) =0
pi/12 (x-2) = 3pi/2
x = 8
Substituting,
y= -2 + 5sin( pi/12 (8-2)
y = -1.86

To find a percentage of a number, you divide by that number.
So to find what percent of 150 162 is, you divide 162 by 150
162 ÷ 150 = 1.08
Now, to find the percentage, we take the decimal and move the point two places to the right.
1.08 = 108%
162 is 108% of 150.
The answer is to this question is option B
