    Circular Functions
    How would you do this question please:

    The oestrogen level in a mature female gorilla is given by the function y=70+50sin[(pi t)/6] where y is the number of units of oestorgen (t) days after the beginning of her oestrous cycle.

    If she can conceive only when her oestrogen level exceeds 110 units, on approximately how many days of her oestrous cycle can she conceive?

    Note its pi times t in the brackes
    This question stumped me

    Thanks

    I suppose you could graph it and look for the points where it is > 110.
