Trigonometric Functions

The document discusses trigonometric functions and modeling water height with trigonometric functions. It includes multiple parts asking to find amplitudes, periods, intercepts, function values, constants in trigonometric models, and time periods when water height exceeds a threshold. Solutions require knowledge of trigonometric properties and functions.

Consider a function f , such that f(x) = 5. 8 sin ( π6 (x + 1)) + b, 0 ≤ x ≤ 10,


b ∈ R.

2a. Find the period of f . [2 marks]

The function f has a local maximum at the point (2, 21.8) , and a local minimum
at (8, 10.2).

2b. Find the value of b. [2 marks]

2c. Hence, find the value of f (6). [2 marks]

A second function g is given by g(x) = p sin ( 29π (x − 3.75)) + q, 0 ≤ x ≤ 10; p,


q ∈ R.
The function g passes through the points (3, 2.5) and (6, 15.1).

2d. Find the value of p and the value of q. [5 marks]


The height of water, in metres, in Dungeness harbour is modelled by the function
H(t) = a sin(b(t − c)) + d, where t is the number of hours after midnight, and
a, b, c and d are constants, where a > 0, b > 0 and c > 0.
The following graph shows the height of the water for 13 hours, starting at
midnight.

The first high tide occurs at 04 : 30 and the next high tide occurs 12 hours later.
Throughout the day, the height of the water fluctuates between 2. 2 m and 6. 8 m .
All heights are given correct to one decimal place.
