Tutorial to help us answer problem 4. | |
| To find the minimum temperature, we must consider the graph of T (t). Note that T (t) is a transformed sine function, specifically
is related graphically to the function y = f (t) = sint through the following transformations (in order):
Because the graph is shifted up 36.8 units and has an amplitude of 1.3 units, we know that T(t) has a maximum of 36.8 + 1.3 = 38.1°C and a minimum of 36.8 - 1.3 = 35.5 °C.
