The number of hours, , of daylight in Madrid as a function of date is approximated by the formula where is the number of days since the start of the year. (We can think of as the stroke of midnight on Dec. 31/Jan 1; thus, January falls between and , February falls between and , etc.).

Find the average number of hours of daylight in Madrid (assuming in each case that it is not a leap year):

A. in November: average hours =

B. in July: average hours =

C. over a year: average hours =

Be sure that you give a reasonably accurate estimate for parts A and B, and that you can explain why the relative magnitudes of your answers to parts A, B, and C are reasonable.
