Math Modelling with Periodic Functions
I need help with deriving a periodic function out of the following given information. Question from the book has been provided.
'
Question: from the information below, create a periodic function of the form y = Asin(Bx + C) + D and then sketch the curve where 0 ≤ x ≤ 4π
The curve has:
- An amplitude of 2
- Consecutive minimum turning points at: (7π/4, 0) and at (15π/4, 0)
- Consecutive maximum turning points at: (3π/4, 4) and at (11π/4, 4)
Extra Notes
π is the symbol Pi if you can't see it properly.

Re: Math Modelling with Periodic Functions
first step would be to sketch the described graph so you can visualize what's happening.
+D)
amplitude,
was given.
horizontal distance between consecutive max/min turning points is
units ... this is the period,
, of the function.
note for future reference,
for both sine and cosine functions.
horizontal midline between the max and min values is 
so, now you're at this point ...
 + 2)
how can you determine
?
