Section 4.4: Applications of Sinusoidal Functions and Their Derivatives
Key Concepts:
- Periodic motion occurs in a variety of physical situations. These situations can often be modelled by sinusoidal
functions.
- Investigation of the equations and graphs of sinusoidal functions and their derivatives can yield a lot of
information about the real-world situations they model.
