Using the given function, the predicted temperature at 5 pm is of 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
The predicted temperature in x hours after midnight is given by the following function:
T(x) = sin(0.3x - 3) + 74.
5 pm is 17 hours after midnight, hence x = 17 and the predicted temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is given by:
T(17) = sin(0.3(17) - 3) + 74 = 74.86.
Rounding to the nearest degree, the predicted temperature at 5 pm is of 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
