Applications
7. At a certain ocean bay, the maximum height of the water is 4 m above mean sea level at 8:00
a.m. The height is at a maximum again at 8:24 p.m. Assuming that the relationship between the
height, h, in metres, and the time, t, in hours, is sinusoidal, determine the height of the water
above mean sea level at 10:00 a.m. /5

8. Determine the average rate of change of the function from to exactly.
