The outside temperature over the course of a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the temperature is $68^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ at midnight and the high and low temperatures during the day are $80^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ and $56^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ , respectively. Assuming $t$ is the number of hours since midnight, find a function for the temperature, $D,$ in terms of $t .$

Outside temperature over a day can be modelled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the high temperature for the day is 66 degrees and the low temperature of 44 degrees occurs at 6 AM. Assuming t is the number of hours since midnight, find an equation for the temperature, D, in terms of t. D(t)=

Temperature over a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose the highest temperature of 57 degrees is reached at 4 in the afternoon, and 47 degrees is the average temperature. Assuming t is the number of hours since 4 pm, find an equation for the temperature.
