There may be many things going on around you that are periodic that you do not even realize! Question 1 Your assignment is to choose an event, around you that can be represented by trigonometric functions, then complete the following tasks. 1) Record your event through a series of photographs, a video or another appropriate method. (For example, if you are using an oscilloscope, include a photo or video of the sound wave, and a copy of the audio file that you are measuring; If you are using a website like this one: http://astro.unl.edu/, include a screenshot, or create a video using Jing). 2) Record the starting y-value of your object or event (when x = 0). 3) Find the period of the object or event. 4) Find the maximum and minimum y-values. You will need to pick a base point to reference from (usually this is a stationary object that you can measure from. For example, a stationary dock if measuring the tides). 5) Determine the amplitude of the function. 6) Determine the vertical translation of the function. 7) Use the information gathered to create a function of the form , and a function of the form 8) Graph your functions by hand. (Remember to include appropriate labels, scale, etc.) 9) Using the functions that you have created, determine the y-value at the point and . (For example, if your period is 4 , then ) Part 2: Presentation and Reflection At this point in the course, you have submitted several assignments of various types. For this assignment, you may choose how you would like to present your findings. Please remember that your submission should be appropriate to the course, should be clear and easy to follow, neat and organized. See the rubric for this assignment for further details. Question 2 (1 point) Be sure your submission answers the following questions as well: (6 pages at most, include your sources where applicable) Describe in your own words why the object or event you chose is periodic. 2) Explain your process for coming up with the functi
