AI Thread Summary
Mastering plotting and sketching sine functions involves understanding the key points of the sine wave, including its amplitude, period, and phase shift. To effectively plot the sine function, one should identify critical points such as the maximum, minimum, and intercepts. Proper graphing techniques include using a coordinate system and accurately marking these points before connecting them smoothly. Additionally, sharing problems in a clear format, such as using LaTeX or images, can enhance understanding and facilitate better assistance. Clear communication of the problem is essential for effective help in mastering sine functions.

Can anyone help me with this? I've been trying to figure it out but no luck. Where do I plot the points and how do I sketch the graph?

Your link is bad, at least for me. Any chance you could type out the problem using $\LaTeX$? Or could you scan a page in and post it?
 
This problem was posted at another site with a good link, so I uploaded it to tinypic and edited the post to use the IMG tags.
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
