Answer:

Explanation:
We are given that
Period =5 s
Amplitude=4 ft
Displacement d from sea level at time

We have to find the modelling equation displacement d as a function of time.
We know that
The general equation of sinusoidal function is given by

B=

When t=0, y=d=-4 ft, D=0
Substitute the values then we get



We know that Cos(-x)=Cos x

(
)

Substitute the values then, we get
