Question

The temperature of a chemical reaction ranges between 30 degrees Celsius and 70 degrees Celsius. The temperature is at its lowest point when t = 0, and the reaction completes 1 cycle during a 10-hour period. What is a cosine function that models this reaction?

Answer 1

f(t) = 20 cos 10t + 50
f(t) = 50 cos 10t + 20
f(t) = −50 cos pi over 5t + 20
f(t) = −20 cos pi over 5t + 50
