The number of hours, H , of daylight in Madrid as a function of date is approximated by the formula H=12+2.4sin(0.0172(t−80)) where t is the number of days since the start of the year. (We can think of t=0 as the stroke of midnight on Dec. 31/Jan 1; thus, January falls between t=0 and t=31 , February falls between t=31 and t=59 , etc.). Find the average number of hours of daylight in Madrid (assuming in each case that it is not a leap year): A. in January: average hours = B. in June: average hours = C. over a year: average hours =
