5.3 Periodic Motion

Checkpoint 4

  1. Use Figure C1 (Figure 4 from 5.3.3 repeated) to draw the graph of `y=sin theta` from `0` to `2 pi.` Then replicate this graph as many times as necessary to construct the graph of `y=sin theta` from `-3 pi` to `7 pi.`


  2. Figure C1   Generation of sine and cosine functions from motion around a circle

  3. Repeat part (a) for the graph of `x=cos theta`.

  4. Check your work by graphing these functions with your calculator or other graphing tool.
