Suppose the high tide in seattle occurs at 1: 00 a. m. and 1: 00 p. m. at which time the water is 16 feet above the height of low tide. low tides occur 6 hours after high tides. suppose there are two high tides and two low tides every day and the height of the tide varies sinusoidally.

(a) find a formula for the function y = h(t) that computes the height of the tide above low tide at time t, where t indicates the number of hours after midnight. (in other words, y = 0 corresponds to low tide.)

h(t) =

(b) what is the tide height at 11: 00 a. m.?
