The water level in a tank can be modeled by the function h(t)=8cos(pi t /7)+11.5, where t is the number of
hours since the water level is at its maximum height, h. How many hours pass between two consecutive times when the water in the tank is at its maximum height?

NO amount of hour passed between two consecutive times when the water in the tank is at its maximum height

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the water tank level modelled by the function h(t)=8cos(pi t /7)+11.5. At maximum height, the velocity of the water tank is zero

Velocity is the change in distance with respect to time.

V = {d(h(t)}/dt = -8π/7sin(πt/7)

At maximum height, -8π/7sin(πt/7) = 0

-Sin(πt/7) = 0

sin(πt/7) = 0

Taking the arcsin of both sides

arcsin(sin(πt/7)) = arcsin0

πt/7 = 0

t = 0

This shows that NO hour passed between two consecutive times when the water in the tank is at its maximum height

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

-7

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 18x + 74 = (x + 9)^2 - 81 + 74

= (x + 9)^2 - 7.

so q = -7.
