Homework Statement
The desert temperature, H, oscillates daily between 40 degrees F at 5 am, and 80 degrees F at 5 pm. Write a possible formula for H in terms of t, measured in hours from 5 am.
The Attempt at a Solution
The best I can come up with is
H=60+40sin((pi/6)t)
but this does not look right when I try and graph it on a calculator. I think the 40sin part is what I have wrong, but I cannot figure out what goes there, and the book is no help at all. Am I at least close?
