- In a tidal river, the time between high and low tide is 6.8 hours. At high tide the depth of water is 16.2 feet, while at low tide the depth is 4.1 feet. Assume the water depth as a function of time can be expressed by a trigonometric function (sine or cosine). (a) Graph the depth of waler over time if there is a high tide at 12:00 noon. Label your graph indicating low and high tide. Select the letter of the graph which best matches your graph. Assume that t = 0 is noon. Choose v (b) Write an equation for the depth f(t) of the tide (in feet) t hours after 12:00 noon. f(t) = help (formulas) (c) A boat requires a depth of 8 feet to set sail, and is docked at 12:00 noon. What is the latest time in the afternoon it can set sail? Round your answer to the nearest minute.

- For each 1000-foot increase in elevation, how many fewer frost-free days are predicted. We want to determine how many fewer frost-free days are predicted when the elevation increases by 1000 ft.

Therefore, each 1000 ft increase in elevation results in a 1 unit increase in x. fill in the blank in part a/part b. a) Recall that the slope of a least-squares line, ŷ = a + bx, indicates how much ŷ changes when x changes by 1 unit. In part (a), we determined the slope of the line is b = −32.660. This means that for each unit that x increases, the value of ŷ decreases by _______ units. b) Therefore, when the elevation increases by 1000 ft there are _______ fewer frost-free days.arrow_forwardO If p(A) = 0.17, p(B) = 0.06 and p(A and B) = 0.0102, are A and B independent? %3Darrow_forwardConvert the following absolute uncertainties to relative uncertainties. a) 20.9 ± 0.4 b) 15.1 ± 0.8 c) 388 ± 23 d) 2.465 ± 0.009arrow_forward
