The temperature of a chemical reaction oscillates between a

The temperature of a chemical reaction oscillates between a low of 40 C and a high of 105 C. The temperature is at its lowest point at time t=0, and reaches its maximum point over a two and a half hour period. It then takes the same amount of time to return back to its initial temperature. Let y=H(t) denote the temperature of the reaction t hours after the reaction begins. (a) What is the period of the function y=H(t)? Include units in your answer.

Solution

given The temperature is at its lowest point at time t=0, and reaches its maximum point over a two and a half hour period. It then takes the same amount of time to return back to its initial temperature

a)so the period of function h(t) is = 2.5+2.5 =5 hours
