Circadian Rhythm Body temperature is an example of a circadian rhythm a 24 -hour internally controlled biological cycle. Many circadian rhythms can be modeled by trigonometric functions. Find a function $T$ of the form $$ T(t)=a \cos \omega t $$ that models the increase and decrease in body temperature from average temperature for a person whose temperature ranges from $97.7^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ to $99.5^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$. Let $t=0$ correspond to 4 A.M., the time at which a person's body temperature is lowest.
