The depth of seawater at a location can be modeled by the function $H$ that satisfies the differential equation $\frac{dH}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}(H - 1)\cos\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)$, where $H(t)$ is measured in feet and $t$ is measured in hours after noon $(t = 0)$. It is known that $H(0) = 4$. (a) A portion of the slope field for the differential equation is provided. Sketch the solution curve, $y = H(t)$, through the point $(0, 4)$. (b) For $0 < t < 5$, it can be shown that $H(t) > 1$. Find the value of $t$, for $0 < t < 5$, at which $H$ has a critical point. Determine whether the critical point corresponds to a relative minimum, a relative maximum, or neither a relative minimum nor a relative maximum of the depth of seawater at the location. Justify your answer. (c) Use separation of variables to find $y = H(t)$, the particular solution to the differential equation $\frac{dH}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}(H - 1)\cos\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)$ with initial condition $H(0) = 4$.
