12. Your boat is bobbing slowly in the ocean over the waves while you are fishing. The range of
the swells are 4 feet from the top of a swell to the bottom. If it takes you 10 seconds to travel
from the top of one wave to the top of the next wave, sketch two complete cycles.

13. A periodic function goes through 14 complete cycles in 8 minutes. What is the period of the
function?

14. In a physics lab you studied the oscillations of a pendulum. If a pendulum makes 48 complete
cycles in 12 seconds. Find the period.

15. Using the graph below, show (label) maximum and minimum values, intervals of concave up
and concave down, and points of inflection.
