Answer

$38^{\circ}$F

Work Step by Step

Since April $5$ corresponds to Day $95$, we substitute $x=95$ in the formula: $T(95)=37+21\sin[\frac{2\pi}{365}(x-91)]$ $T(95)=37+21\sin[\frac{2\pi}{365}(95-91)]$ $T(95)=37+21\sin[\frac{2\pi}{365}(4)]$ $T(95)=37+21\sin[0.0689]$ $T(95)=37+21(0.0688)$ $T(95)=37+1.45$ $T(95)=38.45\approx38^{\circ}$F Therefore, on Day $95$, the temperature is $38^{\circ}$F.
