Question 1179525: Help with this Please!
Outside temperature over a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the temperature is 67 degrees at midnight and the high and low temperature during the day are 76 and 58 degrees, respectively. Assuming t is the number of hours since midnight, find an equation for the temperature, D, in terms of t.
D(t)= ?

degrees at midnight
during the day are and degrees
find an equation for the temperature,

the average is:


amplitude () is ;
period = hours;
Assuming is the number of hours since midnight when the temperature is falling amplitude have negative sign
