The data and graph above show the number of hours of daylight in Richmond VA for specific dates during 2018.  x=t days after Jan. 1 and y = H(t) the number of hours of daylight on day t.  We want to write a periodic function for H(t) the number of hours of daylight given t, the number of days since Jan. 1.  ( t = 0 represents Jan. 1, 2018.) H(t)=Acos(Bt-C)+D   Day 360 has the least number of hours of daylight (not day 0),  Determine a good phase shift for this function and use it to find the value of C in the equation.

Question

The data and graph above show the number of hours of daylight in Richmond VA for specific dates during 2018.  x=t days after Jan. 1 and y = H(t) the number of hours of daylight on day t. 

We want to write a periodic function for H(t) the number of hours of daylight given t, the number of days since Jan. 1.  ( t = 0 represents Jan. 1, 2018.)

H(t)=Acos(Bt-C)+D

 

Day 360 has the least number of hours of daylight (not day 0),  Determine a good phase shift for this function and use it to find the value of C in the equation.
