Question

Question 3 : A buoy bobs up and down in the water following the formula h(t)=5 \sqrt{3} \sin (2 t)+5 \cos (2 t) where h is the height above average

sea level and t is the time in hours. (a) What is the period of h? (b) Show that the buoy reaches a minimum height when t = (2n)/3 and a maximum height when t = (7n)/6. (c) Find the maximum height of the buoy, that is, the amplitude of h.
