4 2. During 2029, the number of hours of daylight per day in London, H, is modelled by the equation H = 0.3 sin x 60 – 4 cos x 60 + 11.5 0 x < 365 where x is the number of days after 1st January 2029 and the angle is in radians. (a) Show that, according to the model, the number of hours of daylight in London on the 31st January 2029 will be 8.13 to 3 significant figures. (1) (b) Use the substitution t x tan 120 to show that H can be written as H at bt c t 2 2 1 where a, b and c are constants to be determined. (2) (c) Hence determine, according to the model, the date of the first day of 2029 when there will be at least 12 hours of daylight in London.
