Data on sunspots shows that the sunspot number waxes and wanes with a more or less regular solar cycle which repeats itself every 11 years. If there was a minimum in the sunspot number in 1744 of about 10 and a maximum of about 90 in 1750, use the model n(t)  = a. sin( b t + c) + d with appropriate values of a, b, c and d to predict the sunspot number n during the years 1752 and 1758

Question

Data on sunspots shows that the sunspot number waxes and wanes with a more or less regular solar cycle which repeats itself every 11 years. If there was a minimum in the sunspot number in 1744 of about 10 and a maximum of about 90 in 1750, use the model

n(t)  = a. sin( b t + c) + d

with appropriate values of a, b, c and d to predict the sunspot number n during the years 1752 and 1758
