Answer

$T_{avg}=(50+\frac{28}{\pi})^{\circ} F\approx 59^{\circ} F$

Work Step by Step

$T_{avg}=\frac{1}{12}\int_{0}^{12}(50+14sin(\frac{\pi t}{12}))dt$ $T_{avg}=\frac{1}{12}(\int_{0}^{12}(50)dt + \int_{0}^{12}(14sin(\frac{\pi t}{12}))dt)$ $T_{avg}=\frac{1}{12}((50x)\Big|_{0}^{12} + 14\int_{0}^{12}(sin(\frac{\pi t}{12}))dt)$ Solve the Indefinite Integral $\int(sin(\frac{\pi t}{12}))dt$ Let u equal to $\frac{\pi t}{12}$ $du = \frac{\pi}{12}dt$ $\frac{\pi}{12}du = dt$ $\frac{12}{\pi}\int(sin({u}))du$ $-\frac{12}{\pi}(cos({u}))$ Substitute u and place it back into the $T_{avg}$ equation $T_{avg}=\frac{1}{12}((50x)\Big|_{0}^{12} + 14 (\frac{-12}{\pi})(cos(\frac{\pi t}{12}))\Big|_{0}^{12})$ $T_{avg}=\frac{1}{12}((50x)\Big|_{0}^{12} - (\frac{168}{\pi})(cos(\frac{\pi t}{12}))\Big|_{0}^{12})$ $T_{avg}=\frac{1}{12}((50x) - (\frac{168}{\pi})(cos(\frac{\pi t}{12}))\Big|_{0}^{12})$ $T_{avg}=\frac{1}{12}(50(12)-\frac{168cos(\pi)}{\pi})-(50(0)-\frac{168cos(0)}{\pi})$ $T_{avg}=\frac{1}{12}(600)-\frac{168(-1)}{\pi})-(0-\frac{168(1)}{\pi})$ $T_{avg}=\frac{1}{12}(600)+\frac{336}{\pi})$ $T_{avg}=(50+\frac{28}{\pi})^{\circ} F\approx 59^{\circ} F$
