Answer to Problem 10PS
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The number of hours of daylight that occur at any location on Earth depends on the time of year and the latitude of the location. The equations below model the numbers of hours of daylight in Seward, Alaska ( 60° latitude), and New Orleans, Louisiana ( 30° latitude).
D=12.2−6.4cos[π(t+0.2)182.6] Seward
D=12.2−1.9cos[π(t+0.2)182.6] New Orleans
In these models, D represents the number of hours of daylight and t represents the day, with t=0 corresponding to January 1 .
Calculation:
Let us consider the numbers of hours of daylight in Seward, Alaska ( 60° latitude), and New Orleans, Louisiana ( 30° latitude) plotted against in a graph below,
Hence, the graph is shown above.

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The number of hours of daylight that occur at any location on Earth depends on the time of year and the latitude of the location. The equations below model the numbers of hours of daylight in Seward, Alaska ( 60° latitude), and New Orleans, Louisiana ( 30° latitude).
D=12.2−6.4cos[π(t+0.2)182.6] Seward
D=12.2−1.9cos[π(t+0.2)182.6] New Orleans
In these models, D represents the number of hours of daylight and t represents the day, with t=0 corresponding to January 1 .
Calculation:
The two regions receive same amount of daylight on only two days of the year as can be seen from the above plot.
The first day on which the daylight received is same is the 91st day of the year that is, on the April 1st of a leap year, both the regions receive same daylight.
The second day on which the daylight received is same is the 74th day of the year that is, on the October 2nd of a leap year, both the regions receive same daylight.
Hence, on April 1st and October 2nd of a leap year, both the regions receive same daylight.
c.
Which city has the greater variation in the number of hours of daylight? Which constant in each model would you use to determine the difference between the greatest and least numbers of hours of daylight?
c.

Answer to Problem 10PS
Seward.
3.8
12.8
Explanation of Solution
Given information
The number of hours of daylight that occur at any location on Earth depends on the time of year and the latitude of the location. The equations below model the numbers of hours of daylight in Seward, Alaska ( 60° latitude), and New Orleans, Louisiana ( 30° latitude).
D=12.2−6.4cos[π(t+0.2)182.6] Seward
D=12.2−1.9cos[π(t+0.2)182.6] New Orleans
In these models, D represents the number of hours of daylight and t represents the day, with t=0 corresponding to January 1 .
Calculation:
Seward experiences a greater variation in daylight hours tha New orleans .
The numbers of hours of daylight in Seward, Alaska is expressed as,
D=12.2−6.4cos[π(t+0.2)182.6]
The numbers of hours of daylight in New Orleans, Louisiana is expressed as,
D=12.2−1.9cos[π(t+0.2)182.6]
Since the varying part in the above expressions is trigonometric part, so,the contants that should be used to calculate the difference between the greatest and the least number of daylight hours is the coefficient of the trigonometric functions.
Since the value of a cosine function ranges from −1 to 1 , so the difference between the greatest and the least number of daylight in Seward are given as below,
(12.2+6.4)−(12.2−6.4)=12.8
But the difference between the greatest and least number of daylight in New Orleans, are as given below
(12.2+1.9)−(12.2−1.9)=3.8
Hence, Seward has greater variation and the greatest difference is 12.8 while the least difference is 3.8 .

Answer to Problem 10PS
P1=365.2
P2=365.2
Explanation of Solution
Given information
The number of hours of daylight that occur at any location on Earth depends on the time of year and the latitude of the location. The equations below model the numbers of hours of daylight in Seward, Alaska ( 60° latitude), and New Orleans, Louisiana ( 30° latitude).
D=12.2−6.4cos[π(t+0.2)182.6] Seward
D=12.2−1.9cos[π(t+0.2)182.6] New Orleans
In these models, D represents the number of hours of daylight and t represents the day, with t=0 corresponding to January 1 .
Calculation:
The period P1 for the expression the numbers of hours of daylight in Seward can be calculated by determining the reciprocal of the coefficient of t in the argument of the given cosine function of the expression and multiplying it by 2π as follows,
P1=1π182.6×2π=2π×182.6π=365.2
The period P2 for the expression the numbers of hours of daylight in New Orleans can be calculated by determining the reciprocal of the coefficient of t in the argument of the given cosine function of the expression and multiplying it by 2π as follows,
P2=1π182.6×2π=2π×182.6π=365.2
Hence P1=365.2 , P2=365.2
