The height of the tide can be modelled by the following equation:

h ( t ) =42 sin

( 6 t )

, where

represents hours after 2am.

a) What is the height of the water at 4am and 4pm?

b) In the next 24 hours after 2am, when does high tide occur and how high do
the tides get?

Gerald the Gardener is working in a temperature controlled greenhouse. During a

particular 24 hour time interval, the temperature, represented by

T ( t )=25+2 cos

( 8 t ) ,0< t<24

, where

is given by

is the time in hours from the beginning of

the 24 hours time interval.

a) State the maximum temperature in the greenhouse and the values of
which these occur

for

b) State the period of the function

c) Find the smallest value of

such that

T =26

d) For how many hours during the time 24 hour time interval is

T 26
