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?
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
