Answer:

The correct answer is: Option: D

D. Maximum: 35°   ;  minimum: −15°  ; Period: 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function f(t) as:

          [tex]f(t)=25\sin (\dfrac{\pi}{2}t)+10[/tex]

We know that the maximum value of the function is obtained when the sine function is maximum.

i.e. when sine takes the value=1

and the minimum value of the function is obtained when the sine function is minimum.

i.e. when sine takes the value= -1

Hence, the minimum value of the function is:

-25+10= -15

and the maximum value of the function is:

25+10=35

Also the period of the function of the type:

[tex]f(x)=a\sin(bx)+c[/tex]

is:

[tex]Period=\dfrac{2\pi}{b}[/tex]

Hence, here we have: b=π/2

Hence, period is:

[tex]Period=\dfrac{2\pi}{\dfrac{\pi}{2}}\\\\\\Period=4[/tex]

         Hence, option: D is the correct answer.
