9. The depth of water at a certain dock varies with the tides. The depth varies from a minimum of 4 feet to a maximum of 10 feet. A full tidal cycle takes 12 hours. Write a sinusoidal function to model the depth of the water D (in feet) as a function of time t (in hours), assuming that at t=0, the depth is at its average.
