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?
