The tortoise versus the hare: The speed of the hare is given by the sinusoidal function H ( t ) = 1 − cos ( ( π t ) / 2 ) whereas the speed of the tortoise is T ( t ) = ( 1 / 2 ) tan − 1 ( t / 4 ) , where t is time measured in hours and the speed is measured in miles per hour. Find the area between the curves from time t = 0 to the first time after one hour when the tortoise and hare are traveling at the same speed. What does it represent? Use a calculator to determine the intersection points, if necessary, accurate to three decimal places.

A gauge at the end of a pier measures and tracks the water depth d (in feet) over time. Regression analysis was performed to fit a trigonometric function to the data.
The function d(t) models the depth of the water over time,
d(t) = 11 sin(0.406t) + 21
where t represents the number of hours past midnight and 0 ≤ t ≤ 24.
High tide occurs twice in a day. After how many hours will the second high tide occur?
O 3.87 hours
O 15.48 hours
O 19.35 hours
O 23.21 hours
