Then the function that describes the height of the tip of the propeller is $h(t)=sin(400pi(t-dfrac{1}{800}))$.
The graph of this function is shown below.
From the graph, it is clear that the instantaneous rate of change at $t=dfrac{1}{300}$ is negative.
The axis is at $20.2$.So, the equation of the axis is $y=20.2$ and the amplitude is $4.5$.

The bob is moving the fastest when it passes throug its rest position. You can tell because the images of the balls are farthest apart at this point.
#### (e)
The pendulum’s rest poition is halfway between the maximum and minimum values on the graph.
Therefore, at this point, the pendulum’s instantaneous rate of change is at its maximum.
#### (a)
For $0leq t leq 5$,
$h(0)=sinleft(dfrac{pi}{5}(0) right)=0$
$h(5)=sinleft(dfrac{pi}{5}(5) right)=0$

$h(5.5)=sinleft(dfrac{pi}{5}(5.5) right)$
$h(5.5)=-0.309$
$h(6.5)=sinleft( dfrac{pi}{5}(6.5)right)$
$h(6.5)=-0.809$
Use the points $(5.5, -0.309)$ and $(6.5, -0.809)$.
$dfrac{-0.809-(-0.309)}{6.5-5.5}=dfrac{-0.5}{1}=-0.5$ m/s
When $t=0, theta=0.$ When $t=1, theta=0.2$.The average rate of change is $0.2$ radians/s.
#### (c)
Answers may vary. For example, from the graph, it appears that the instantaneous rate of at $t=1.5$ is about $-dfrac{2}{3}$ radians/s.
#### (d)
The pendulum speed seems to be the greatest for $t=0, 2, 4, 6,$and $8$.
(The interval $-dfrac{pi}{4}< x <dfrac{pi}{4}$was used.)Therefore, the instantaneous rate of change of $f(x)=3sin x$is at its maximum tree times more than the instantaneous rate of change od $f(x)=sin x$.However, there are points where the instantaneous rate of change is the same for the two functions. For example, at $x=dfrac{pi}{2}$, it is $0$ for both functions.
By examining the graph of $f(x)=sin x$, it appears that the instantaneous rate of change at the given values of $x$ are $-1, 0, 1, 0,$ and $-1$.
The function is $f(x)=cos x$. Based on this information, the derivative of $f(x)=sin x$ is $cos x$.
By examining the graph of $f(x)=cos x,$ it appears that the instantaneous rate of change at the given values of $x$ are $0, 1, 0, -1,$ and $0$.
#### (b)
The function is $f(x)=-sin x$. Based on this information, the derivative of $f(x)=cos x$ is $-sin x$.
