2. Please read the following paragraph carefully and build a cosine model based on the data given. Suppose that you are on the beach on December 25 and notice that the high tide occurs at 3:00 PM with a depth of 1.5 meters. You then return at 8:00 PM in the evening and notice it is low tide at 0.3 meters. Since tides vary sinusoidally over time, find a cosine function that represents the depth of the tide as a function of time x measured in hours after 12:00 AM on December 25th.
