Here is an example of a real world problem with the solution. Try to follow.

Note: Most textbooks use

f(x)= a sin b(x-c) +d

a= amplitudeb= 2π/b period

c= horizontal shiftd= vertical shift

4.3 sin0.82(t-.37) +7.3a b c d

factor out 0.82 ∴ b=0.82

Final Interpretation:

I know the last example was challenging. The point was to show you how these functions are used in the real world.
