  1. A space probe lands on a distant planet. The temperature sensor in the probe determines that the temperature on the planet is a sinusoidal function of the time. Two hours after landing, the temperature was at its maximum, 52 ◦C. The temperature then decreased, and 7.6 hours after landing reached its minimum, -108 ◦C. In the first 24 hours after landing, how much time is the temperature below 10 ◦^ C?
  1. At midnight on January 1, 2000, the population in Newberg was 1325 and the population in Kowplunc was 550. The population of Newberg quadruples every 15 years.
