MA1310: Week 3 Trigonometric and Periodic Functions

Page 1

Periodic phenomena happen in repeated and expected cycles. Many real-life relations

can be modeled using transformations of the periodic functions. Circular motion and

pendulum movement are excellent real-life examples of sinusoidal relationships.

1. Think of a real-life application of a sinusoidal function. The model should have both

data and graph.

a. Write the sinusoidal function representing the model.

b. Find the function’s amplitude and period.

c. Explain why the phenomena repeat themselves indefinitely.

2. Reply to two other students’ posts in 2–3 sentences. Explain why you agree or

disagree with their examples of sinusoidal functions. Click here to view some real-

life examples of sinusoidal relationships.

Participation Requirements:

Submit your initial posts as early in the week as possible, and before the end of the

week, respond to at least two of your peers’ initial posts.

Submit a real-life application of the sinusoidal function, including the required

details, as a forum post on Questa.

Respond to two students’ posts, providing a rationale in support of your agreement

or disagreement with the examples of sinusoidal functions.

Be polite and respectful of your classmates’ opinions. You may disagree, but do so in

a constructive manner.

Submit posts by 11:59 PM EST on Sunday of Week 3.

Evaluation Criteria:

Did you accurately identify a real-life application of sinusoidal function?

Did you provide data and graph?

Did you depict the model using both data and graph?

Did you write the sinusoidal function representing the model?

Did you find the function’s amplitude and period?

Did you explain the repetition of the identified phenomena using appropriate

rationale?

Did you comment on at least two other students’ posts using appropriate rationale?
