In this lesson, we will learn how to solve problems that are modeled using trigonometric functions.
Students will be able to
Q1:
The depth of the water in a fishing port, 𝑆, is affected by the tides. It can be represented by 𝑆=4(15𝑛)+28sin∘, where 𝑆 is measured in meters and 𝑛 is the time elapsed, in hours, after midnight. How many times a day is the depth of the water exactly 24 meters?
Q2:
The number of hours of daylight in Paris depends on the season, and it is modeled by 𝑑=12−42𝜋365(𝑡+10)cos, where 𝑡 is the number of the days in a year (January 1 is day 1). According to this model, on what days does daylight in Paris last 10 hours?
Q3:
The outside temperature (in degrees Celsius) on a certain day was modeled with 𝑇=12+7𝜋12(𝑡−10)sin, where 𝑡 is the time after midnight in hours. At what times of the day was the temperature 10∘C? Give your answer to the nearest minute using a 24-hour format.
