    The depth of water in a harbor, in meters, is modeled by

    D(t)=4+2sin(6π​t)

    where t is the number of hours after midnight.

    1. Write down the mean depth of the water.

      [1]
    2. Find the maximum depth of the water.

      [1]
    3. Find the depth of the water at 2AM.

    Hugh notices that the average daily temperature T in his town is modeled by

    T(t)=15+8sin(12π​(t−6))°C,

    where t is the hours after midnight.

    1. Find the domain of T.

      [1]
    2. Find the range of T.

      [2]
    3. Determine the average temperature in Hugh's town when he leaves for work at 8:30 AM.

    The distance of a passenger from the ground on the London Eye ferris wheel, in meters, is given by

    h(t)=71.5−67.5cos(12t°),

    where t is how many minutes the passenger has been on the wheel.

    1. Find how far above the ground a passenger is when they board the London Eye.

      [2]
    2. Calculate the period of rotation of the London Eye.

      [2]

    The dome atop St. Paul's Cathedral is only visible when passengers are at least 111m above the ground.
