My batteries of my calculator playing up I cannot draw the following graph:

P= 34730 + 200 000 sin x

Could someone please use a graph package to draw it and possibly attach it so I can have a look at it please :-)

I need to view P against x.

Thanks ever so much!

I guess you know haow the sinx graph looks like. Now elongate it vertically 200000 times and move it 34730 units up the vertical (P) axes.

x on horizontal axis

and P on the vertical axis right?

Yep, that's right. In mathematical terms the transformation would be a vertical stretch, scale factor 200 000 and a translation of vector [tex]\left( \stackrel{0}{34730} \right)[/tex].
