Question

The depth of water in a port is modelled by the function $d(t) = p\cos qt + 7.5$ , for $0 \leqslant t \leqslant 12$ , 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 $p$ .

[2]

Find the value of $q$ .

[2]

Use the model to find the depth of the water 10 hours after high tide.
