The temperature in a certain city is measured at noon each day from 1st July 2013 for two
complete years. The graph below shows the temperature T in degrees Celcius t days after
1st July 2013. The value of T(0) represents the temperature at noon on 1st July 2013.
T

24-
18-
12-
6-
160
320
480
640
Determine an equation in the form T(t) = Acos(Bt) + C where A,B,C ER that
approximates the data.
(a)
(b) Use your equation to approximate the number of days from 1st July 2013 up until and
including 30th June 2015 that the temperature exceeded 24°C.
