Q. The light from the moon, in lux, on the night of the ttht^{\text{th}} day of 20162016 , is\newlineL(t)=0.25sin(2π(t2)28.5)L(t)=0.25-\sin\left(\frac{2\pi(t-2)}{28.5}\right)\newlineWhat is the period of the light from the moon? Give an exact answer.\newline days
  1. Identify General Form: Identify the general form of a sinusoidal function.\newlineA general sinusoidal function can be written as f(t)=Asin(B(tC))+Df(t) = A \cdot \sin(B(t - C)) + D or f(t)=Acos(B(tC))+Df(t) = A \cdot \cos(B(t - C)) + D, where:\newline- AA is the amplitude,\newline- BB is related to the period (PP) of the function by the formula P=2πBP = \frac{2\pi}{B},\newline- CC is the phase shift, and\newline- DD is the vertical shift.
  2. Compare Given Function: Compare the given function to the general form.\newlineThe given function is L(t)=0.25sin(2π(t2)28.5)L(t) = 0.25 - \sin\left(\frac{2\pi(t - 2)}{28.5}\right). This matches the general form with A=1A = -1 (since the sine function is subtracted), B=2π28.5B = \frac{2\pi}{28.5}, C=2C = 2, and D=0.25D = 0.25.
  3. Calculate Period: Calculate the period of the function.\newlineUsing the relationship P=2π/BP = 2\pi/B, we can find the period of the given function by plugging in the value of BB from the function.\newlineP=2π/(2π/28.5)=28.5P = 2\pi / (2\pi/28.5) = 28.5
