T(t) = – 9.5sin(t) - + 77.5 Now that we have our function, we can answer the question at hand. How many hours after midnight does the temperature first reach 84°? Since 84 > 77.5, we know that our answer will be between 12 and 18 because our function will be less than 77.5 until 12, and then will be increasing until it reaches its maximum at 18. Solve for t when T(t) = 84. T(t) = 84 = - 9.5 sin| + 77.5 84 – 77.5 = - 9.5 sin| 84 – 77.5 sin ) = sin -9.5 77.5 – 84 9.5 12 = 14.878 t = arcsin So, the temperature will first reach 84° 14.878 hours after midnight,

Question

I am not understanding what they did to obtain that result (in the image). 

My question is not about the actual exercise. My question is about the las 2 steps of the solution. How did they solve fot t? 

T(t) = – 9.5sin(t) -
+ 77.5
Now that we have our function, we can answer the question at hand. How many hours after midnight does the temperature first reach 84°?
Since 84 > 77.5, we know that our answer will be between 12 and 18 because our function will be less than 77.5 until 12, and then will be increasing until it reaches its maximum at 18.
Solve for t when T(t) = 84.
T(t) = 84 = - 9.5 sin|
+ 77.5
84 – 77.5 = - 9.5 sin|
84 – 77.5
sin )
= sin
-9.5
77.5 – 84
9.5
12
= 14.878
t = arcsin
So, the temperature will first reach 84° 14.878 hours after midnight,
