Iver a 24-hour period, the tide in a harbor can be modeled by one period of a sinusoidal function. The tide measures 4.35 ft at midnight, rises to a high of 8.3 ft, falls to a low of 0.4 ft, and then rises to 4.35 ft by the next midnight. What is the equation for the sine function f(x), where x represents time in hours since the beginning of the 24-hour period, that models the situation?

Thales was an ancient philosopher familiar with similar triangles. one story about him says that he found the height of a pyramid by measuring its shadow and his own shadow at the same time. if the person is 5-ft tall, what is the height of the pyramid in the drawing?

Afactory makes propeller drive shafts for ships. a quality assurance engineer at the factory needs to estimate the true mean length of the shafts. she randomly selects four drive shafts made at the factory, measures their lengths, and finds their sample mean to be 1000 mm. the lengths are known to follow a normal distribution whose standard deviation is 2 mm. calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of the shafts. input your answers for the margin of error, lower bound, and upper bound.

Someone me! if you’re smart you can solve this!
