Expert Solution
Step 1

Below graph and table shows the average monthly attendance at Lake Nacimiento in California.

Trigonometry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Trigonometry homework question answer, step 1, image 2

Step 2

Use the cosine function model, y=k+AcosBx-h.

The amplitude A is the half of the difference between highest point and lowest point.

A=1238,000-900=18,550

The vertical translation k is the average of highest point and lowest point.

k=1238,000+900=19,450

The maximum value occur at x=5 and the minimum value occur at x=11.

The horizonal distance between maximum and minimum values is the half of the period.

Period = 211-5=12
