Biological Clocks Circadian rhythms are biological processes that oscillate with a period of approximately 24 hours. That is, a circadian rhythm is an internal daily biological clock. Blood pressure appears to follow such a rhythm. For a certain individual the average resting blood pressure varies from a max- imum of 100 $\mathrm{mmHg}$ at $2 : 00 \mathrm{PM}$ . to a minimum of 80 $\mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ at $2 : 00$ A.M. Find a sine function of the form $$ f(t)=a \sin (\omega(t-c))+b $$ that models the blood pressure at time $t,$ measured in hours from midnight.
