2a. [2 marks] The depth of water in a port is modelled by the function 𝑑(𝑡) = 𝑝cos𝑞𝑡 + 7.5, for 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤
12, where 𝑡 is the number of hours after high tide. At high tide, the depth is 9.7 metres. At low tide, which
is 7 hours later, the depth is 5.3 metres.
Find the value of 𝑝.
2b. [2 marks]
Find the value of 𝑞.
2c. [2 marks]
Use the model to find the depth of the water 10 hours after high tide.

3a. [1 mark]
The height of water, in metres, in Dungeness harbour is modelled by the function 𝐻(𝑡) = 𝑎 sin(𝑏(𝑡 −
𝑐 )) + 𝑑, where 𝑡 is the number of hours after midnight, and 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐 and 𝑑 are constants, where 𝑎 >
0, 𝑏 > 0 and 𝑐 > 0.
The following graph shows the height of the water for 13 hours, starting at midnight.
The first high tide occurs at 04: 30 and the next high tide occurs 12 hours later. Throughout the day, the
height of the water fluctuates between 2.2 m and 6.8 m. All heights are given correct to one decimal
