Monthly Temperature The given data represent the average monthly temperatures for Indianapolis, Indiana.
(a) Draw a
(b) Find a sinusoidal function of the form that models the data.
(c) Draw the sinusoidal function found in part on the scatter diagram.
(d) Use a graphing utility to find the sinusoidal function of best fit.
(e) Graph the sinusoidal function of best fit on a scatter diagram of the data.
To find:
a. Draw a scatter diagram of the data.
Answer to Problem 31AYU
a.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
a. Draw a scatter diagram of the data.
To find:
b. Find a sinusoidal function of the form that models the data.
Answer to Problem 31AYU
b.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
b. Find a sinusoidal function of the form that models the data.
Determine , the amplitude of the function.
Determine , the vertical shift of the function.
Determine , It is easier to find the horizontal stretch factor first. Since the period of the function is . Because . Therefore .
Now superimpose the graph of on the scatter diagram. See Figure, where it is clear that the graph still needs to be shifted horizontally.
Determine the horizontal shift of the function by using the period of the data. we must shift the graph of the function.
At ,
To find:
c. Draw the sinusoidal function found in part (b) on the scatter diagram.
