We can see from the question that we have the sine function, which is modeling the water level in a cove relative to the average sea level, and this function is given by:
[tex]g(t)=4sin(\frac{\pi}{6}t)[/tex]
And we need to find the points where g(t) is equal to the average sea level.
1. To find it, we need to analyze the given function as follows:
2. Then we can say that the function has:
• An amplitude (the value from the ,midline of the function, in this case, x = 0,).
,
• The period of the function is given by:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Period=}\frac{2\pi}{B} \\ \\ \text{ Period=}\frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{6}}=2\pi(\frac{6}{\pi})=12 \\ \\ \text{ Period=}12 \end{gathered}[/tex]
3. These values can be seen as follows:
4. To find the points where g(t) is equal to the average sea level, we can see that the average sea level is represented by the midline, x = 0, and from the graph, we can see that these points are points on the x-axis, and they are (6, 0), and (12, 0) for the given graph:
