How to find the phase shift (the horizontal shift) of a couple of trig functions Graphing Sine and Cosine with Phase (Horizontal) Shifts, Example 2. In this video, I graph a trigonometric function by graphing the original and then applying the phase shift.
Take the electric hot-water heater recovery times and divide them in half to get the recovery time for a gas unit. Water coming into a 50-gallon tank at 40 degrees takes just 53 1/2 minutes to reach 120 degrees. For 60-degree water entering the tank, calculate about 40 minutes needed for the water to reach the 120-degree temperature. For 70-degree water, it would take 33 minutes.
I called the installation number, ordered the water heater, and had it installed within 3 hours of my initial phone call. I was amazed by their speed to service. I expected to be on a wait list or be scheduled in a day or two. Excellent service and I am extremely happy with my new water heater.
