Tides are often measured by arbitrary height markings at some location. Suppose that a high tide occurs at noon when the water level is at 12 feet. Six hours later, a low tide with a water level of 5 feet occurs, and by midnight another high tide with a water level of 12 feet occurs. Assuming that the water level is periodic, use this information to find a formula that gives the water level as a function of time. Then use this function to approximate the water level at 5:30 P.M.
