Sample modelling question:
NON-CALC
A marker is placed on the surface of a beach, and is used to measure how far up the beach a wave reaches over a period of 24 hours. It was calculated that the following equation could be used to model this data
Where 'D' is the distance away from the marker, and 't' is measured in hours
a) What is the furthest distance and closest distance from the marker that the wave reaches
b) At what times does the wave reach the furthest distance from marker A
Susie picks a position on the beach to sunbathe where she is 7.5 meters from the marker, if the waves come any closer, she will get wet.
c) At what times can she sunbathe?
Answers:
a) Furthest distance= 15 Closest: 5
b) 4 AM
c) t<12 U t>20
