Let S(t) be the number of daylight hours on the tth day of the year in Los Angleles. We are given the following data for S(t): S(t) Day January 17 17 10 March 4 63 12 131 13 207 14 We wish to fit a trigonometric function of the form to these data. Find the best approximation of this form, using least squares. f(t) = May 11 July 26 f(t) = a + b sin 2π 365 t t + c cos 2π 365
