Power functions and first sketches practice question 12

A person’s core body temperature, in degrees Celsius, is modelled by the function below, where tt is the time in hours after midnight. At what time tt, with 0≤t<240 \leq t < 24, is the temperature highest?

T(t)=36.9+0.4sin⁡ ⁣(π12(t−11))T(t) = 36.9 + 0.4\sin\!\left(\frac{\pi}{12}(t - 11)\right)

h

A number of hours after midnight, for example 9.5.

How sure are you?
