The depth of the water at the end of a pier changes periodically along with the movement of tides. On a particular day, low tides occur at 12:00 a. m. and 3:30 p. m., with a depth of 3.25 meters, while high tides occur at 7:45 a. m. and 11:15 p. m., with a depth of 8.75 meters. Which of the following equations models d, the depth of the water in meters, as a function of time, t, in hours? Let t = 0 be 12:00 a. m.
