Starting at its rightmost position, it takes 1 second for the pendulum of a grandfather clock to swing a
horizontal distance of 12 inches from right to left, and 1 second for the pendulum to swing back from left to
right. Write a cosine function, d = acos(bt), to model the distance, d, of the pendulum from the center (in
inches) as a function of time t (in seconds)
a=

How to choose the sign of the radical in the denominator of the formula for the distance from a point to a line.

The table below represents the displacement of a fish from its reef as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from reef (feet) y 0 4 1 64 2 124 3 184 4 244 part a: what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the fish? (4 points) part b: calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points) part c: what would be the domain of the function if the fish continued to swim at this rate until it traveled 724 feet from the reef? (2 points)
