The following table gives the sunrise and sunset times for various dates of the year in Lincroft, NJ.
In order to create a function from this, we need to quantify the date into "day of year",
with January 1, which we will call "Day 1" (we can assume 1 corresponds to 11:59 PM on January
1, so we'll think of the New Year beginning at x- 0). This becomes our independent variable. We
also turn the amount of time between sunrise and sunset into "hours of daylight", which becomes
our dependent variable.

b. Do these values make sense based on the data? Why or why not?
The values make sense because the given data is numerie.
2. Since this is a sinusoidal function, the domain is all real numbers. However, this function has
a practical application. What is the practical domain of this function? Why?

close to the actual date.

Maximum (171.33, 15)
y = 2.836 sin(0.0172(353.98 – 80)) + 12.164

all your work.

= [2.836 sin(0.0172(x – 80))] +–12.164
e. Do the dates make sense based on what you know about the seasons?
Yes, it makes sense because the 172 day corresponds to June 21" because that is when
we have the most amount of sunlight since it is summertime, making it the maximum.
Meanwhile, on the 353 day corresponding to December 20 making it winter therefore

f'(x) = 0.0487792 cos (0.0172(x – 80))
having minimum amount of sunlight.

a Write the intervals (within the practical domain) when the first derivative is increasing
and decreasing.
b. What does this mean in terms of daylight at various times of the year?
Second Derivative

7.
- 0.0487792(- sin(0.0172(x – 80)) • 0.0172)
a For which value of x is the amount of daylight increasing the fastest? For which x-value
is it decreasing the fastest? Then find the dates that correspond to these x-values.
b. Determine the intervals where the function is concave up and concave down.
a.
Find the critical values of the function. Show and label your work. Round to the nearest
hundredth.
Given,
S(x) = 2.836 sin(0.0172(x - 80)) + 12.164
'(x) = 0.0487792 cos (0.0172(x – 80))
For critical values f'x) = 0
- 0.0487792 cos(0.0172(x - 80)) = 0
- cos (0.0172(x - 80)) = 0
0.0172(x - 80) = (2n + 1)
8.
a Use technology to obtain a printout of the function over its practical domain. Scale and
label the axes appropriately.
b. Label the maximum, minimum, and inflection points on the graph. You should label the
points both in the form (x, Ax)) and (date, f(x)).
9. Suppose the same analysis was done for Barrow, Alaska and Lima, Peru. How would you
expect the models to be different or the same regarding amplitude, maximum and minimum
values, and where these extrema occur? Hint: You should look up these locations on a map to
determine their latitudes and position in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.

10. We can use the function to estimate the total amount of daylight for an entire year. Enter the
function into Maple and use Riemann sums (using midpoints for the height of the rectangles)
to estimate the total amount of daylight when:
0.0344
= 182.65n + 171.33
Where n is an integer, we plugged in 0, 1, 2. to get the critical points which are:
171.33, 353.98, 536.63, and so on.

b. n- 100
c. n= 365
Note: Write your final answer accurate to 6 decimal places.
