A persons blood pressure P at time t (in seconds) is given by P = 100 +

Question:

A person’s blood pressure P at time t (in seconds) is given by P = 100 + 20 cos 6t.

(a) Find the maximum value of P (called the systolic pressure) and the minimum value of P (called the diastolic pressure) and give one or two values of t where these maximum and minimum values of P occur.

(b) If time is measured in seconds, approximately how many heartbeats per minute are predicted by the equation for P?
