Sine Curve Transformations

Unit Problem:

Develop an equation that accurately models one of the following:

  • The average daily temperature for our community
  • The rotation of the piston-crankshaft assembly in an engine
  • The weekly average number of part-time jobs available in our community

Welcome to our exploration of Sine Curve Transformations!

Today we will develop another tool for helping us solve our main unit problem (above).  In order to do this, follow through the steps below – either by clicking directly on them or by using the menu above.  You have all of today to work through the lesson in your assigned groups and then we will report back in our groups tomorrow in class.  Your homework tonight will be to respond to two (2) other group’s posted conclusions.

Today’s mini-problem:

Develop a plan or formula for determining the equation of any sinusoidal function from  a diagram/graph.
