Problem

In an industrial city, the amount of pollution in the air becomes greater during the working week when factories are operating, and lessens over the weekend. The number of milligrams of pollutants in a cubic metre of air is given by P(t)=40+12sin⁡(2π7(t−3712))P(t) = 40 + 12 \sin(\frac{2\pi}{7}(t - \frac{37}{12})) where tt is the number of days after midnight on Saturday night.
