Here is the length of day data for Fairbanks, Alaska. Graph this data on the same coordinate axis as the Boston Data. Day of the Hours of Day of the Year Hours of year Daylight Daylight 0 3.7 180 20.7 10 3.9 190 20.6 20 4.2 200 20.3 30 5.7 210 18.8 40 8.2 220 18.4 50 8.6 230 15.9 60 9.1 240 15.5 70 10.7 250 15.0 80 12.2 260 13.4 90 13.7 270 11.0 100 15.3 280 10.5 110 15.7 290 8.9 120 16.2 300 8.4 130 18.6 310 8.0 140 20.2 320 5.6 150 20.5 330 4.0 160 20.6 340 3.8 170 20.7 350 3.7 360 3.7 Explain in full sentences what is the same, and what is different between the amounts of daylight in the two cities. For both cities, comment on the amplitude, period, phase shift, and average number of daylight hours (i.e. the midline). Explain how to find a model for the Fairbanks data by modifying your model for the Boston data. What is the equation for the Fairbanks, Alaska length of day function?
