since brians shadow is 2/3rds his height

4 / 6 is 2 /3

20 / 30 is 2 / 3 too so flag pole must be 30 feet tall

The Hudson Bay tides vary between 3 feet and 9 feet. The tide is at its lowest point when time (t) is 0 and completes a full cyc

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$y(t)= 6-3cos(\dfrac{2\pi}{14}t )$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that could model this periodic phenomenon will be of the form

$y(t) = y_0+Acos(wt)$

The tide varies between 3ft and 9ft, which means its amplitude $A$ is

$A =\dfrac{(9-3)ft}{2} \\\\\boxed{A = 3ft}$

and its midline $y_0$ is

$y_o=3+3 \\\\\boxed{y_o= 6ft}$ .

Furthermore, since at $t=0$ the tide is at its lowest ( 3 feet ), we know that the trigonometric function we must use is $-cos(\omega t)$ .

The period of the full cycle is 14 hours, which means

$\omega t =2\pi$

$\omega (t+14)= 4\pi$

giving us

$\boxed{\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{14}.}$

With all of the values of the variables in place, the function modeling the situation now becomes

$\boxed{y(t)= 6-3cos(\dfrac{2\pi}{14}t ).}$
