Question 1012885: The profit P for a product whose sales fluctuate with the seasons is estimated to be P= 14 + 5sin(pit/52), where t is given in weeks and P is in thousands of dollars. Determine the number of weeks it would take for the profit to initially reach $18,000.
I attempted this problem, but when I plug the sin inverse of a number into my calculator, it says there is a math error. Thank you! Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The greatest positive value for ANY
sin function is , so = in thousands, so
that is $19,000.

The problem makes sense, so I can continue
Let
( note that I had to get the angle measured in radians
because of the given
In the 15th week, the profit will reach $18,000
