Answer:
(a)11 hours
(b)19.5 hours
(c)2.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of hours of daylight, H, on day t of any given year in a particular city can be modeled by the function :
[tex]H(t)=11+8.5\sin\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(t-83)\right)[/tex]
(a)When t=83
[tex]H(83)=11+8.5\sin\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(83-83)\right)\\=11+8.5\sin 0\\=11$ hours[/tex]
(b)When t=175
[tex]H(175)=11+8.5\sin\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(175-83)\right)\\=11+8.5\sin\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{365}\times 92 \right)\\=11+8.5\\=19.5$ hours[/tex]
(b)When t=358
[tex]H(175)=11+8.5\sin\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(358-83)\right)\\=11+8.5\sin\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{365}\times 275 \right)\\=11-8.5\\=2.5$ hours[/tex]
