1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the value of kk in the equation 15sin(kt)15\sin(kt) such that the period of the function is 65\frac{6}{5} seconds.

2. Solution Steps

The general form of a sinusoidal function is Asin(Bx)A\sin(Bx), where AA is the amplitude and the period is given by the formula:
Period=2πBPeriod = \frac{2\pi}{|B|}
In our case, the function is 15sin(kt)15\sin(kt). Thus, B=kB = k. The period is given as 65\frac{6}{5}. We can set up the equation:
65=2πk\frac{6}{5} = \frac{2\pi}{|k|}
We solve for k|k|:
k=2π65=2π56=10π6=5π3|k| = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{6}{5}} = 2\pi \cdot \frac{5}{6} = \frac{10\pi}{6} = \frac{5\pi}{3}
Since we are not given any further information, we can assume kk to be positive.
k=5π3k = \frac{5\pi}{3}

3. Final Answer

The value of kk should be 5π3\frac{5\pi}{3}.
