A theme park guest takes an innertube into the wave pool. The innertube moves up and down in a way such that the height h of the innertube, in meters, above the

floor of the pool can be modeled by the function h = asinbx + 4. When the wave pool is turned on, the innertube's height fluctuates between 2 meters and 6 meters with
an interval of 10 seconds between maximums. Based on the context of the problem, what are the values of a and b?

So the values of a and b are 2 and π/5, respectively.
