The temperature at 9 AM is approximately 10 degrees. Neither of the answers are correct. (Correct choice: E)

What is the temperature of a place at a given time?

Sinusoids are expressions with trascendent functions, to be more specfic, trigonometric functions, whose form is described below:

T(t) = A · sin (2π · t / T + C) + B       (1)

Where:

  • A - Temperature amplitude, in degrees.
  • B - Middle temperature, in degrees.
  • T - Period, in hours.
  • C - Angular phase, in radians.

The temperature amplitude and the middle temperature can be found by the following expressions:

A = (t' - t'') / 2      (2)

B = (t' + t'') / 2      (3)

Where t' and t'' are maximum and minimum temperatures, in degrees.

Then, we proceed to find each constant of the sinusoidal model:

A = (45 - 7) / 2

A = 38 / 2

A = 19

B = (45 + 7) / 2

B = 52 / 2

B = 26

We assume a period of 24 hours (T = 24).

If we know that t = 0, T = 24, A = 19, B = 26, T(t) = 7, then the angular phase is:

7 = 19 · sin [(π / 12) · 0 + C] + 26

- 19 = 19 · sin C

sin C = - 1

C = π

T(t) = 19 · sin (π · t / 12 + π) + 26

Then, the temperature at 9 AM is: (t = 4)

T(4) = 19 · sin (π · 4 / 12 + π) + 26

T(4) ≈ 9.545

The temperature at 9 AM is approximately 10 degrees. Neither of the answers are correct. (Correct choice: E)
