The hours of daylight,y, in Utica in days, x, from January 1, 2013 can be modeled by the equation y=3.06sin(0.017x-1.40) + 12.23. How many hours of daylight, to the nearest tenth,does this model predict for February 14, 2013?(1) 9.4(2) 10.4(3)12.1(4)12.2
Accepted Solution
A:
the month of January has 31 days, so from January 1st to February 14th, there are 31 + 14 or 45 days, namely x = 45.
