Q. The light from the moon, in lux, on the night of the tth day of 2016 , isL(t)=0.25−sin(28.52π(t−2))What is the period of the light from the moon? Give an exact answer. days
Identify General Form: Identify the general form of a sinusoidal function.A general sinusoidal function can be written as f(t)=A⋅sin(B(t−C))+D or f(t)=A⋅cos(B(t−C))+D, where:- A is the amplitude,- B is related to the period (P) of the function by the formula P=B2π,- C is the phase shift, and- D is the vertical shift.
Compare Given Function: Compare the given function to the general form.The given function is L(t)=0.25−sin(28.52π(t−2)). This matches the general form with A=−1 (since the sine function is subtracted), B=28.52π, C=2, and D=0.25.
Calculate Period: Calculate the period of the function.Using the relationship P=2π/B, we can find the period of the given function by plugging in the value of B from the function.P=2π/(2π/28.5)=28.5
