At 12 noon the temperature in Harry’s house is 18°C. At 6 pm the temperature in Harry’s house is 25°C. Harry models the temperature in his house, T, by the formula
T=18+7sin(15h) T = 18 + 7 \sin(15h) T=18+7sin(15h)where h h\,h is the number of hours after 12 noon.
Using the model find the number of hours in a day that the temperature will be above 21.5°C
