At an ocean depth of 8 meters, a buoy bobs up and then down 5 meters from the ocean's depth. sixteen seconds pass from the time the buoy is at its highest point to when it is at its lowest point. assume at x = 0 the buoy is at normal ocean depth.

use the sine tool to graph the function. the first point must be on the midline and the second point must be a maximum or minimum value on the graph closest to the first point.

  See attached for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

We're going to plot sea level as y=0 and a depth of 8 meters as y=-8.

The problem statement tells you the initial point (x=0) is at normal ocean depth (y=-8), so the first point you put into your sine tool is ...

  (x, y) = (0, -8)

The buoy takes 16 seconds to go from a high point to a low point, so the time to the first high point is half that, or x=8 seconds. That high point is 5 meters above its average depth, so is at y=-3.

The second point you will put into your sine tool is ...

  (x, y) = (8, -3)

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
