In Pensacola in June, high tide was at noon. The water level at high tide was 12 feet and 2 feet 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 June for Pensacola as a function of time (t)

Answer:

f(t) = 5 cos pi/6 t + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The information we have given is:

In Pensacola in June, high tide was at noon. The water level at high tide was 12 feet and 2 feet 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

We have to find:

an equation for water level in June for Pensacola as a function of time (t)

The equation we can use is:

y = A cos bx + c

where A shows the amplitude

b = 2 pi/Period (Period = 12 hrs)

c = midline,

x = t and y = f(t)

A = 1/2 (Xmaximum - Xminimum)

A= 1/2(12-2)

A= 1/2(10)  

A= 5

b = 2 pi / 12 = pi/6  

c = 1/2 (Xmax + Xmin)  

c = 1/2(12+2)

c= 1/2(14)

c= 7

The answer is:

f(t) = 5 cos pi/6 t + 7 .....

In a hospital, there are 250 registered nurses. 100 of the nurses are males. What is the ratio of male nurses to female nurses i
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The ratio of male nurses to female nurse in lowest terms is: 2:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In a hospital, there are  total 250 registered nurses.

Number of nurses are males = 100

Number of nurses are females = 250 - 100 = 150  [ Total nurses - number of male nurses]

To find the ratio of male nurse to female nurses in lowest terms;

A ratio shows that the relative sizes of two or more values.

Then,

\frac{Number of male nurses}{Number of female nurses} = \frac{100}{250}

or

= \frac{100}{250} =\frac{10}{25} =\frac{2}{5} = 2:5

Therefore, the ratio of male nurses to female nurses in lowest terms is; 2 :5

The rule of the <span>geometric sequence is a* r^{n-1}
a ⇒⇒⇒ </span><span>the first term

Below 40                0.27                    0.73

Above 40              0.57                      0.43

Work: 8+22=30        17+13=30     turn into a fraction then simplify to get answer;

22/30   simp= 73.0 (0.73)

13/30     simp= 43.0 (0.43)

8/30      simp= 26.667 (0.27)

17/30      simp= 56.667 (0.57)
