Introduction to Sinusoidal Functions

General Outcome: Develop algebraic and graphical reasoning through the study of relations.

SO8:  Represent data, using sinusoidal functions, to solve problems. [C, CN, PS, T, V]

8.1.  Describe, orally and in written form, the characteristics of a sinusoidal function by analyzing its graph.

8.2.  Describe, orally and in written form, the characteristics of a sinusoidal function by analyzing its equation.

8.3.   Match equations in a given set to their corresponding graphs.

8.4.  Graph data, and determine the sinusoidal function that best approximates the data.

8.5.  Interpret the graph of a sinusoidal function that models a situation, and explain the reasoning.

8.6.  Solve, using technology, a contextual problem that involves data that is best represented by graphs of sinusoidal functions, and explain the reasoning

Mathematical Processes

  • Connections [CN]  Students are expected to make connections among mathematical ideas, other concepts in mathematics, everyday experiences and other disciplines
