Average Daily Temperature The temperature in Anchorage. Alaska, can be approximated by the
where T(x) is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit on day x, with x = 1 corresponding to January 1 and x - 365 corresponding to December 31. Use a calculator to estimate the temperature on the following days. (Source: World Almanac and Book of Facts.)
(a) March 15 (day 74) (b) April 5 (day 95) (c) Day 200
(d) June 25 (e) October 1 (f) December 31

- The term X-ray applies to radiation over a range of wavelengths. But a typical X-ray has a frequency of about 3 x 1017 Hz. Make a sine wave model of an X-ray as a function of time t in seconds. Use an amplitude of 1. (Express numbers in exact form. Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed. Large numbers require scientific notation. Use multiplaction dot instead of " x " symbol. Let y = f(t) and give the equation in terms of y and t.) equation:arrow_forwardUse the diagram shown below that shows the points where the terminal side of every multiple of 30° intersects the unit circle.
