The average daily high temperature in Seattle is modeled by the function T = –15 cos(πm/6)+ 61, where T is the temperature in °F, and m is the number of months since the beginning of the year. What is the value of m when the average daily high temperature T is 76°F

Answer:

[tex]m = 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]T = -15cos(\frac{\pi m}{6}) +61[/tex]

[tex]76 = -15cos(\frac{\pi m}{6}) +61[/tex]

[tex]76-61 = -15cos(\frac{\pi m}{6})[/tex]

[tex]15 = -15cos(\frac{\pi m}{6})[/tex]

[tex]\frac{15}{-15} = cos(\frac{\pi m}{6})[/tex]

[tex]-1 = cos(\frac{\pi m}{6})[/tex]

[tex]cos^{-1}( -1) = \frac{\pi m}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\pi = \frac{\pi m}{6}[/tex]

[tex]6\pi = \pi m[/tex]

[tex]m = 6[/tex]
