Let a function y represent the water level in a harbor measured in meters, and let x represent the number of hours since high tide. At time x = 0, the water level is 19.5 meters (a maximum). At time x = 6.26 hours, the water level is 10.5 meters (a minimum). The period of the function is 12.5 hours.


After how many hours is the water expected to reach a depth of 17 meters for the first time? Round to the nearest tenth of an hour.


A 2.2 hours

B 6.3 hours

C 12.1 hours

D 12.5 hours
