Choose trigonometric functions (sine and cosine) to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Key features of trigonometric functions (e.g., amplitude, frequency, and midline).
  • Techniques for selecting functions to model periodic phenomena.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Determine the amplitude, frequency, and midline of a trigonometric function.
  • Develop a trigonometric function to model periodic phenomena.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Trigonometric functions are periodic and may be used to model certain periodic contextual phenomena.
  • Amplitude, frequency, and midline are useful in determining the fit of the function used to model the phenomena.
