TRIGONOMETRY HELP!
Please see the attachment and complete. Do not re-post the same answer that is already on Course Hero.
This is not my forte so I could really use your help. Thank you in advance.
(READ BELOW FOR ASSIGNMENT OR USE THE ATTACHMENT, THEY ARE THE SAME THING)
Discussion: The parametric curve defined by x(t) - A cos (Bt), y(t) = C sin (Dt), or cycloids and why they are famous.
Since this is the last discussion activity in this course, it should have something to do with the trig functions sine and cosine, and with parametric equations. You’d want x to be tied to the cosine function, while y should have something to do with the sine function. However, note that the amplitudes need not be the same (which will produce something perhaps elliptical but at least elongated in one direction or another), and the frequencies need not be the same. This is where the graphs can become interesting. Your graphing tool becomes essential for this activity. Here is a hint for this activity...think about the amplitude ratios A/C and the frequency ratios B/D in characterizing your graphs.
Your task:
Create an initial submission in Microsoft Word, using your equation editor and graphing tool (Microsoft Mathematics 4.0, which can plot parametric graphs, or another tool such as the shareware Graphmatica 2.0) to post interesting variations on the parametric equations. For each graph you create, identify the specific parametric equations used and the domain for your graph. In a sense, this will be a real art exhibit. Be sure to make a comment on each graph you create as to how one particular graph differs from the other, and perhaps what patterns you observed during your experimentation. Heads-up, be careful about file size. The images could get large, especially if you include color in the graphs’ backgrounds. Trade offs are part of the issues in this submission.
