The function f(t) = 33 sin (pi over 2t) āˆ’ 20 models the temperature of a periodic chemical reaction where t represents time in hours. What are the maximum and minimum temperatures of the reaction, and how long does the entire cycle take? (5 points)

Maximum: 53°; minimum: āˆ’13°; period: 4 hours

Maximum: 33°; minimum: 20°; period: pi over 2 hours

Maximum: 13°; minimum: āˆ’53°; period: 4 hours

Maximum: 35°; minimum: 35°; period: 8 hours

Respuesta :

The given function is
[tex]f(t) = 33 sin( \frac{ \pi }{2} t) - 20[/tex]
with
t = time, hours
f = temperature, °C


BecauseĀ the maximum and minimum values for the Sine function are +1 and -1 respectively,
The maximum value of f Ā = 33 - 20 = 13.
The minimum value of f = -33 - 20 = -53.Ā 

The period, T, Ā is given by
[tex] \frac{2 \pi }{T} = \frac{ \pi }{2} \\ \\ T=4[/tex]

Answer:
Maximum: 13°;  Minimum: -53°;  period: 4 hours
