Pre-Calculus
Assignment Guide

Chapter four part B examines graphs of the six trigonometric functions. Just like any other graph, you
must be able to sketch the parent graph of a function and then adjust based on translations or stretch/shrink. It is
critical that you memorize the parent graphs as soon as possible (relative min/max, intercepts, period,
amplitude, asymptotes, etc). As usual, please dont put them in the short-term memory! Please ask questions
regularly in class or stop by to see me or go to the Math Resource Center in room C117 for extra help.

I can use sine and cosine functions to model real life data.
a. The water level in a city water storage tank oscillates in a simple harmonic motion. The water level
varies depending on the time of day and the corresponding demand of the people. The low point of the

2am and 2pm with a water level of 58 feet. Create a sinusoidal function that models the data and use it
to predict the water height at 4pm.
