Goal: We want to find out how many days the temperature of the water in the lake is predicted to be higher than 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Given Function: We're given a formula that predicts the temperature based on the number of days since January 1st. It looks complicated, but it's essentially a fancy way of saying the temperature goes up and down over the year.
Breaking Down the Problem: We can imagine the temperature as a wave that goes up and down throughout the year, like a rollercoaster. Our job is to figure out when this rollercoaster goes above 72 degrees.
Using Sine Function: The formula uses a function called sine, which helps us model how the temperature changes over time. When the sine function gives us a positive value, it means the temperature is above its average, and vice versa.
Finding When it's Above 72: We need to figure out when the sine function makes the temperature go above 72 degrees. We do some math to find the specific days when this happens.
Calculating Days: After some calculations, we find out that for almost every day in the year, the temperature is predicted to be above 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Final Answer: So, the answer is around 248 days. That means for about
248 days in the year, the temperature is expected to be above 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

I'm curious, how did you actually solve it @axie ?
I took the graphing approach and just plotted the two functions, f(t) and y=72
From there, I found where the graphs intersect (113.9, 72) and (248.6, 72)
And basically, anything above y=72 is what we were looking for (with the restriction of 0 to 365). Since x is the number of days, I just subtracted.
248-114 \(\approx\) 134

thank you but the correct answer was 134. but thank you so much for the effort :)

i did it on paper and my mind must have skipped or glazed over something
