I'm assuming this is multiple choice and you forgot to post the answers. I'll take a guess and say it probably looks something like this:
Because you can't take the square root of a negative number without getting an imaginary result, resulting in the function having a closed domain limit.
Answer:
1. x=±4
2. t=±9
3. r=±10
4. x=±12
5. s=±5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x^2 = 16
Taking square root on both sides
x=±4
2. t^2=81
Taking square root on both sides
t=±9
3. r^2-100=0
r=±10
4. x²-144=0
x²=144
Taking square root on both sides
x=±12
5. 2s²=50
s=±5 ..
We can tell from the data that there is a midpoint between the lowest and highest point of the clock, which is at a height of 9.5 feet.
Moreover, the lowest point occurs at 6 o clock, and the highest occurs at 12 o clock.
The amplitude of variation from the mid-point is 0.5 feet given by (10 - 9) / 2.
Finally, the time period for the equation is 12 hours. Thus, the answer is:
h = 0.5cos(πt/6) + 9.5, option B
