Range ____________________
2. Sketch one cycle of the following functions 0º ≤ θ ≤ 360º on the grid below. Remember
to sketch the parent function. (14 marks)
a) y = 2sin(θ - 60º) - 1
b) y = - cos2θ + 3
1
c) y = - 3sin( θ + 30º) - 2
2
3. A sinusoidal function has an amplitude of 6 units, a period of 120º and a maximum of (0, 8)
(6 marks)
5. A spring bounces up and down according to the model d(t) = 3 sin(30t) + 2, where d(t) is the
displacement in centimetres from the rest position and t is time in seconds. (6 marks)
6. A fish is caught in a water wheel. A graph of its height (in metres) with respect to the
surface of the water over time is shown below. (4 marks)
c) How long is the fish under the water every minute? ___________
d) After 36 seconds, at what height will the fish be? ___________
7. Ken is riding a Ferris Wheel. The maximum height he reaches is 16 m and the minimum
height is 2 m. One rotation of the Ferris wheel takes 6 minutes. Draw a graph which
represents this scenario if Ken starts at the minimum height and the Ferris Wheel rotates
4 times. (9 marks)
