Dump truck comparisons (be sure to answer parts a and b) part a a dump truck weighs 11.25 tons when empty. a conveyor belt pours sand into the truck at a constant rate of ¼ ton per minute until it is full. let t represent the elapsed time in minutes. let w represent the weight of the truck after t minutes. write an equation for w in terms of t.

In one day there are too high tides into low tides and equally spaced intervals the high tide is observed to be 6 feet above the average sea level after six hours passed a low tide occurs at 6 feet below the average sea level in this task you will model this occurrence using a trigonometric function by using x as a measurement of time assume the first high tide occurs at x=0. a. what are the independent and dependent variables? b. determine these key features of the function that models the tide: 1.amplitude 2.period 3.frequency 4.midline 5.vertical shift 6.phase shift c. create a trigonometric function that models the ocean tide for a period of 12 hours. d.what is the height of the tide after 93 hours?
