These graphs are called #strong[sinusoidal], after the trigonometric functions sine and cosine. They are often described by three parameters: the #strong[period], #strong[midline], and #strong[amplitude]. The period of the graph is the smallest interval of input values on which the graph repeats. The midline is the horizontal line at the average of the maximum and minimum values of the output variable. The amplitude is the vertical distance between the maximum output value and the midline. #figure(figph[sinusoidal curve], alt: "sinusoidal curve", caption: none) #examplebox("Example 2")[][ The table shows the number of hours of daylight in Glasgow, Scotland, on the first of each month. #figure(table( columns: 13, align: left, inset: 6pt, table.header([Month], [Jan], [Feb], [Mar], [Apr], [May], [Jun], [Jul], [Aug], [Sep], [Oct], [Nov], [Dec]), [Daylight #linebreak() hours #linebreak()], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "7.1")[$7.1$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "8.7")[$8.7$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "10.7")[$10.7$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "13.1")[$13.1$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "15.3")[$15.3$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "17.2")[$17.2$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "17.5")[$17.5$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "16.7")[$16.7$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "13.8")[$13.8$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "11.5")[$11.5$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "9.2")[$9.2$]], [#math.equation(block: false, alt: "7.5")[$7.5$]], )) + Sketch a sinusoidal graph of daylight hours as a function of time, with #math.equation(block: false, alt: "t equals 1")[$t = 1$] in January. + Estimate the period, amplitude, and midline of the graph. #solutionbox[ + Plot the data points and fit a sinusoidal curve by eye, as shown in Figure.#figure(figph[sinusoidal length of day], alt: "sinusoidal length of day", caption: none) + The period of the graph is #math.equation(block: false, alt: "12")[$12$] months.
