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

its a trick question

step-by-step explanation:

dogs love water, just turn on the hose and it will run in circles chasing the water all day : )
