Answer:
a. Please find attached the required scatter plot
b. The minimum temperature in the data set is 67°F
c. The maximum temperature in the data set is 106°F
d. The vertical shift for the data set is 67°F
e. The amplitude 19.5 °F
f. The period is 12 months, the frequency = 1/12 months
h. The sine function equation that models the data set is 19.5·sin(π·t/6 - π/2) + 86.5
i. After the second and before the third month or after the ninth and before the 10th month
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the sinusoidal variation of temperature with time can be presented as follows;
y = A·sin(Bt + C) + D
Where;
A = The amplitude = (The Maximum value - The minimum value)/2
The amplitude = (106 - 67)/2 = 19.5°F
B = 2·π/(The period) = 2·π/12 = π/6
t = The time in months
C = The phase shift = -π/2
D = The midline = (The Maximum value + The minimum value)/2 = (106 + 67)/2 = 86.5 °F
The equation that models the data = 19.5·sin(π·t/6 - π/2) + 86.5
When the temperature is 82°, we have;
82 = 19.5·sin(π·t/6 - π/2) + 86.5
82 - 86.5 = 19.5·sin(π·t/6 - π/2)
-4.5°F = 19.5·sin(π·t/6 - π/2)
sin⁻¹(-4.5/12) = π·t/6 - π/2
-0.3844 = π·t/6 - π/2
-0.2329 = π·t/6 - π/2
t = 2.55 or 12 - 2.55 = 9.44
Which is either after the second and before the third month or after the ninth and before the 10th month.
