Question

T(h) = - A - B * cos((pi*h)/12) Where T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and h is the number of hours from midnight (0 <= h <= 24) . a. The initial temperature at midnight was - 15 degrees * F and at Noon of New Year's Day it was 5 degrees * F Find A and B. b. Find the average temperature for the first 10 hours. C. Find an expression for the rate that the temperature is changing with respect to h.

Answer 1

The value of A and B is 5 , 10 ;The average temperature for first ten hours is  -7.466 degree F ; an expression for the rate that the temperature is changing with respect to h ; dt/dh = +B sin ((pi*h)/12)

What is a Function ?

A function is a mathematical statement used to correlate two variables.

The function given is

T(h) = - A - B * cos((pi*h)/12)

T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and

h is the number of hours from midnight (0 <= h <= 24)

a. The initial temperature at midnight was - 15 degrees * F and

at Noon of New Year's Day it was 5 degrees * F

At midnight h = 0

T(h) = -15 degrees F

-15 = -A-B* cos 0

-15 = -A-B

A+B = 15------------------- (1)

At noon , h = 12 , T(h)= 5

- A - B*  cos(pi) = 5

-A - B (-1) = 5

B -A = 5 ----------------------- (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2

2B = 20

B = 10

A = 5

The value of A and B is 5 , 10

The average temperature for first ten hours is  -7.466 degree F

Find an expression for the rate that the temperature is changing with respect to h

dt/dh = +B sin ((pi*h)/12)
