Wilson places a measuring tape on a pillar of a dock to record the water level in his local coastal community. He finds that a high tide of 1.77 m occurs at 5:17 a.m., and a low tide of 0.21 m occurs at 11:38 a.m. (App /1+/1+ /2 + (2) a) Estimate the period of the fluctuation of the water level. Show reasoning. b) Estimate the amplitude of the pattern. Show work c) Predict when the next two high tides will occur. Show) your work. d) Predict when the next two low tides will occur. Explain!
