Outside temperature over a day can be modelled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the high temperature for the day is 75 degrees and the low temperature of 35 degrees occurs at 4 AM. Assuming t is the number of hours since midnight, find an equation for the temperature, D, in terms of t.

D(t) = 20°*cos((pi/4)*t) + 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

using that t = 0 is midnight, we know.

We know:

Max temp = 75°

Min temp = 35° (occurs at t = 4 hours)

Now we can model this as:

D(t) = A*cos(c*t) + B

Where A, c and B are constants.

we have a minimum at t = 4 hours, a minimum means that cos(c*t) = -1

then we have that:

D(4) = A*cos(c*4) + B = A*(-1) + B = 35°

here we also have that cos(c*4) = -1

this means that c*4 = pi

c = pi/4

We also have that the maximum temperature is 75°, the maximum temperature is when cos(c*t) = 1

D(t0) = A*(1) + B = 75°

with this we can find the values of A and B.

-A + B = 35°

A + B = 75°

We isolate B in the first equation and then replace it in the second equation.

B = 35° + A

A + B = 75°

A + 35° + A = 75°

2A = 40°

A = 40°/2 = 20°

B = 35° + 20° = 55°.

Our equation is:

D(t) = 20°*cos((pi/4)*t) + 55°

well, you see here, jamal was born to 2 parents, his mother who he lives with and his father who left at a young age and who happens to be younger than him. he stole cookies because he has to steal food due to the fact that he spends his government poverty checks on pot and women.
