The electricity supplied by a typical wall socket is driven by an alternating current. This alternating current gives rise to a voltage that oscillates (peak-to-peak) 60 times each second and ranges from −120V to +120V . Find a function, V (t), which models the voltage as a function of time and fix any constants involved based on the information given. (You may choose the value of V (t) at t = 0.)
