Sinusoidal graphs may occur in everyday life. Examples of sinusoidal graphs can be found in wave patterns, temperature patterns over extended period of times, or the pattern of swinging on a tree. Required:
a. Find a real-world situation that can be represented by a sinusoidal function. You may find something online that represents a sinusoidal graph or you can create a sinusoidal graph yourself with a measuring tape and a rope.
b. Provide a graph complete with labels and units for the x- and y-axes.
c. Describe the amplitude, period, and vertical shift in terms of the real-world situation.
