MHB Sketch the sinusoidal graphs that satisfy the properties

Click For Summary
To sketch the sinusoidal graph with a period of 4, amplitude of 3, and an equation of the axis at y = 5, the maximum value will be 8 and the minimum value will be 2. The angular velocity $\omega$ can be calculated using the formula $\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$, resulting in $\omega = \frac{\pi}{2}$. The sinusoidal function can be expressed as $f(x) = 3\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}x\right) + 5$. This function will complete 2 cycles within the specified period of 4. The graph will oscillate between the maximum and minimum values around the axis at y = 5.

12a) Sketch the sinusoidal graphs that satisfy the properties below:
Period: 4
Amplitude: 3
Equation of the Axis: y = 5
Number of Cycles: 2

So, I know how to graph sinusoidal functions, but I can't figure out the max and min that would satisfy both the equation of the axis and the amplitude listed.

Let's start with the angular velocity $\omega$. For a sinusoid of the form:

$$f(x)=\sin(\omega x)$$

The period is:

$$T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}$$

This comes from:

$$f(x)=\sin(\omega x)=\sin(\omega x+2\pi)=\sin\left(\omega\left(x+\frac{2\pi}{\omega}\right)\right)=f\left(x+\frac{2\pi}{\omega}\right)=f(x+T)$$

So, letting $T=4$, what must $\omega$ be?
 
I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
