    2. It is given that the equation of curve C is T(t)=−10cos(bt°)+45, where b has the value determined in (b.ii).

      1. Write down the average temperature throughout the day.

        [1]
      2. Find the second time at which the temperature is 40°F.

        [2]

    It is given that the temperature on the winter day T(t)=−9cos(bt°)+29. The formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is C=95​(F−32).

    1. Find an expression for the temperature C(t), in Celsius, throughout the winter day.

      [2]
    2. Hence determine the length of time during the day where the temperature is below freezing (0°C).
