Hi, my name is Tori! I need help with this problem. Could you help me please. I am not sure what to do.
The depth d in feet of the water in a bay at is given by d(t) = 3/2 sin (5πt/31) + 23 where t is time. Graph the depth of the water as a function of time. What is the maximum depth of the water to the nearest tenth of a foot? (Enter only the number.)
d(t) = 3/2 sin (5πt/31) + 23
The average depth of the water, over time, is 23 feet.
The amplitue of the tide is 1.5 feet
So the maximum depth of the water is 24.5m
------------------------------------------------------------------
You do not need this but the period is 2pi divided by 5pi/31 = 2pi*31/5pi = 62/5 = 12.4
I think it fair to assume that we are talking tides and time is in hours.
The max depth of the water is 24.5 ft.
Here's the graph here (you may have to scroll "up" on the Desmos webpage to see it).......https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ukrmefrp28
(Note ...I have graphed it using "x" and "y" instead of "t" and "d" ....but the idea is the same !!!)
d(t) = 3/2 sin (5πt/31) + 23
The average depth of the water, over time, is 23 feet.
The amplitue of the tide is 1.5 feet
So the maximum depth of the water is 24.5m
