Answer

$T = a~sin~[b(x-d)]+c$ $a~~$ is the amplitude of the sine curve $b~~$ is the angular frequency $\omega$ $c~~$ is the vertical translation of the sine curve. $d~~$ is the horizontal translation of the sine curve toward the right.

Work Step by Step

$T = a~sin~[b(x-d)]+c$ In part (b), we modeled the sine curve with this function: $T = 25.5~sin~[0.5236(x-5.429)]+49$ $a = 25.5~~$ is the amplitude of the sine curve $b = 0.5236$ is the angular frequency and it is related to the period $P$ as follows: $b = \frac{2\pi}{P}$ $c= 49$ $c~~$ is the vertical translation of the sine curve. $d = 5.429$ $d~~$ is the horizontal translation of the sine curve toward the right.
