a is the ✔ length of the bladeheight of the windmillnumber of rotations per minute.
Which periodic function, sine or cosine, would be a simpler model for the situation? Explain.
A cosine function would be a simpler model for the situation. Since the low tide (minimum depth) occurs at t = 0, a reflected cosine function can be used to model the data without needing a phase shift. Conversely, a sine function would require a phase shift to account for the starting position at the minimum.
This amplitude is meters. a = ⇒ -1.5

The graph of these points follows a path resembling a .
Use the graph to write an equation y = acos[b(x – h)] + k to model the situation.The amplitude is , so a = . The period is , so b = .
