Low tide |
10:14 A.M. |
High tide |

- What is the average depth of water at the pier? What is the amplitude of the variation from the average depth?
- How long is one cycle of the tide?
- Write a cosine function that models the relationship between the depth of water and the time of day. Use
y
=
0
y equals 0 to represent the average depth of water. Use
t
=
0
t equals 0 to represent the time 4:03 A.M.
