Question

In Panama City in January, high tide was at midnight. The water level at high tide was 9 feet and 1 foot at low tide. Assuming the next high tide is exactly 12 hours later and that the height of the water can be modeled by a cosine curve, find an equation for water level in January for Panama City as a function of time (t). @Hero @aum @ganeshie8 @IMStuck @SolomonZelman @quickstudent @CloverRacer

Answer 3

. f(t) = 4 cospi over 6t + 5

Answer 4

From the data find:
Amplitude (A)
Midline (C)
Period (2pi/B)

Plug the values into f(x) = Acos(Bx) + C

Answer 5

Plug the values into f(t) = Acos(Bt) + C

Answer 6

Thanks everyone for the help

Answer 7

I wish people would explain their steps instead of giving out the final answers thereby doing the other people's homework instead of teaching them the method.

Answer 8

I agree with you @aum learning is always the best man and the only way.
