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.
Questions:
Describe the amplitude, period, and vertical shift in terms of the real-world situation.
Describe how the real-world situation would have to change if you wanted to change the period.
What would have to change in the real-world scenario to stretch the amplitude?
