Let S(t)be the number of daylight hours on the tth day of the year 2012 in Rome, Italy. We are given the following data for S(t):

We wish to fit a trigonometric function of the form
To these data. Find the best approximation of this form, using least squares. How many daylight hours does your model predict for the longest day of the year 2012? (The actual value is 15 hours, 13 minutes, 39 seconds.)
Using paper and pencil, perform the Gram-Schmidt process on the sequences of vectors given in Exercises 1 through 14.

Find an orthonormal basis of the kernel of the matrix .
By using paper and pencil, find the least squares of the system , where and. Verify that the vector is perpendicular to the image of A.
Find the least-squares line \(y = {\beta _0} + {\beta _1}x\) that best fits the data \(\left( { - 2,0} \right),\left( { - 1,0} \right),\left( {0,2} \right),\left( {1,4} \right),{\rm{ and }}\left( {2,4} \right)\), assuming that the first and last data points are less reliable. Weight them half as much as the three interior points.
