Chapter 1.3, Problem 60E
The Heaviside function defined in Exercise 59 can also be used to define the ramp function y = ctH(t), which represents a gradual increase in voltage or current in a circuit.
(a) Sketch the graph of the ramp function y = tH(t).
(b) Sketch the graph of the voltage V(t) in a circuit if the switch is turned on at time t = 0 and the voltage is gradually increased to 120 volts over a 60-second time interval. Write a formula for V(t) in terms of H(t) for t ≤ 60.
(c) Sketch the graph of the voltage V(t) in a circuit if the switch is turned on at time t = 7 seconds and the voltage is gradually increased to 100 volts over a period of 25 seconds. Write a formula for V(t) in terms of H(t) for t ≤ 32.

The probability of precipitation in a California city varies from a peak of 0.38 (38%) in January to a low of 0.08 (8%) in July. Assume that the percentage of
precipitation varies monthly and behaves like a cosine curve.
Part 1 of 2
(a) Write a function of the form P (t) = A cos (Bt-C) + D to model the precipitation probability. The value P (t) is the probability of precipitation (as a
decimal), for month t, with January as t = 1.
