Question 32

The temperature, f(t)f(t)f(t) degrees Celsius, of a building is modelled by the formula

f(t)=16+4sin⁡(15t)∘0≤t<24 f(t) = 16 + 4 \sin(15t)^\circ \quad 0 \leq t < 24 f(t)=16+4sin(15t)∘0≤t<24

where t t\,t is the number of hours after midday.

a.

State the maximum and minimum temperature of the building according to the model.

[1]
b.

Find the temperature, to the nearest degree Celsius, at 13:00 and 23:00.
