How do I write a model for the given sunset information using time (t) as a function of days (d) if a year has 365 days.
\n" ); document.write( "Date Day Sunrise Sunset
\n" ); document.write( "Mar 20 80 6:14 6:22
\n" ); document.write( "June 20 172 4:44 7:38
\n" ); document.write( "Sept 22 266 5:57 6:06
\n" ); document.write( "Dec 21 356 7:25 4:52
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You have to convert those dates to day of the year.
\n" ); document.write( "You have to convert those times to a 24 hour time-clock
\n" ); document.write( "Ex: 6:22 is approx 18 1/3 hr
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Plot your (day,sunset time) points
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Run a Sine Regression program against the 4 points to
\n" ); document.write( "see a trig function that models the sunset changes.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------
