Question

Can you help me with the last two problems of this trigo problem?

Answer 1

so I have determined that for problem e, the values are:

• Value of a: 8.05
• Value of b: 0.52
• Value of c: 48
• Value of d: 24.5

Answer 2

I need help with the last 2 problems. I have no idea what to answer

Answer 3

\[T(t)=a \sin {b(t-c)}+d\]
a = amplitude
period = 2pi/b
c= phase shift
d= vertical displacement
If you want the temperature function, replace a, b, c, and d with the determined values.

Answer 4

@Mertsj , that is merely the general sinusoidal function

Answer 5

I answered that in problem e. I need help with the last 2.

Answer 6

Are the last two f and g?

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

a-e, I have done it

Answer 9

Well, what characteristic does a represent if it is not the amplitude. Maybe you are supposed to describe what amplitude means.

Answer 10

The reason Im so stuck is I dont understand it.

Answer 11

I have no Idea what they are asking me

Answer 12

You don't understand what amplitude is?

Answer 13

no not that, the question f

Answer 14

The actual question. I dont get it.

Answer 15

Well, in e, they said tell what a represents. I'm assuming you said a represents the amplitude. Would I be correct?

Answer 16

Yes

Answer 17

So now in f they say what characteristic of the function does a represent. I guess I would say that |a|, the amplitude represents the largest value the function can attain.

Answer 18

I think they want you to demonstrate that you can relate these values to the graph.

Answer 19

So basically explain in detail what each value does to the graph?

Answer 20

like a value determines so and so
B value alters the period
etc.etc. Like that?

Answer 21

Yes.

Answer 22

Omg Im going to kill myself, didnt know it was this simple. Ok. How do I solve for the last one?

Answer 23

@Mertsj

Answer 24

If you want the temperature function, replace a, b, c, and d with the determined values.

Answer 25

what do you mean determined values? Like the values I gave? or the values from the table?

Answer 26

• Value of a: 8.05
• Value of b: 0.52
• Value of c: 48
• Value of d: 24.5

Answer 27

t = 8.05 sin(0.52 x+48)+24.5 This?

Answer 28

yes.

Answer 29

Omg, i answered that already in problem c

Answer 30

All the problems from d-g are answered in problem c. That is so weird

Answer 31

How can those numbers be the answer to c which asks, "Is the function sinusoidal?"

Answer 32

Did you even answer that question?

Answer 33

Because in here, I had to justify my explanation. Which forced me to plot my graph

Answer 34

When plotting my graph, I had to come up with the abcd values

Answer 35

had to graph my graph

Answer 36

And come up with the temp function

Answer 37

Sounds like you're done.

Answer 38

Omg. Silly silly me. Thank you @Mertsj ! you saved my life once more

Answer 39
