Use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use a viewing rectangle that shows the graph for at least two periods. $$y=\frac{1}{2} \tan (\pi x+1)$$
Graph one period of each function. $$y=\left|2 \cos \frac{x}{2}\right|$$
A clock with an hour hand that is 15 inches long is hanging on a wall. At noon, the distance between the tip of the hour hand and the ceiling is 23 inches. At 3 P.M., the distance is 38 inches; at 6 P.M., 53 inches; at 9 P.M., 38 inches; and at midnight the distance is again 23 inches. If \(y\) represents the distance between the tip of the hour hand and the ceiling \(x\) hours after noon, make a graph that displays the information for \(0 \leq x \leq 24\)
Biorhythm cycles provide interesting applications of sinusoidal graphs. But do you believe in the validity of biorhythms? Write a few sentences explaining why or why not.
Use a graphing utility to graph each pair of functions in the same viewing rectangle. Use a viewing rectangle that shows the graphs for at least two periods. $$y=4 \cos \left(2 x-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \text { and } y=4 \sec \left(2 x-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$$
