Outside temperature over a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the temperature is 45 degrees at midnight and the high and low temperature during the day are 60 and 30 degrees, respectively. Assuming t is the number of hours since midnight, find an equation for the temperature, D, in terms of t. D(t)= ___

For a person at rest, the velocity v (in liters per second) of airflow during a respiratory cycle (the time from the beginning of one breath to the beginning of the next) is modeled by v=0.85sint/3, where t is the time (in seconds). a Find the time for one full respiratory cycle. b Find the number of cycles per minute. c Sketch the graph of the velocity function. Use the graph to confirm your answer in part a by finding two times when new breaths begin. (Inhalation occurs when v0, and exhalation occurs when v0.)
A forest fire leaves behind an area of grass burned in an expanding circular pattern. If the radius of the circle of burning grass is increasing with time according to the formula r(t)=2t+1 , express the area burned as a function of time, t (minutes).
If you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.
