Over a 24-hour period, the tide in a harbor can be modeled by one period of a sinusoidal function. The tide measures 4. 35 ft at midnight, rises to a high of 8. 3 ft, falls to a low of 0. 4 ft, and then rises to 4. 35 ft by the next midnight. What is the equation for the sine function f(x), where x represents time in hours since the beginning of the 24-hour period, that models the situation? enter your answer in the box.
