A person’s resting blood pressure is 116 over 88. This means that the blood pressure oscillates between a maximum of 116 and a minimum of 88. The person’s resting heart rate is 60 beats per minute. Let P represent the blood pressure and t represent the time in seconds.

Determine the vertical shift, amplitude, and period of a function that represents the blood pressure and the heart rate.

Question

A person’s resting blood pressure is 116 over 88. This means that the blood pressure oscillates between a maximum of 116 and a minimum of 88. The person’s resting heart rate is 60 beats per minute. Let P represent the blood pressure and t represent the time in seconds.
 
Determine the vertical shift, amplitude, and period of a function that represents the blood pressure and the heart rate.

anonymous · Answer

The vertical shift must be in comparison to some other number? 
The amplitude will be half the height from 116 to 88.
The period will be based on the number of beats per minute.
