In the following graphs, the first-named function appears in red; the second-named function in yellow.

11. $f(t) = 4.2\sin(\pi/2-2\pit) + 3 = 4.2\sin[\pi(1/2 - 2t)] + 3$

13. $g(x) = 4 - 1.3\sin[\pi/2-2.3(x-4)]$

15. $f(x) = \cos(2\pix)$

17. $f(x) = 1.5\cos(4\pi(x-0.375))$

19. $f(x) = 40\cos(\pi(x-10)/10) + 40$

21. $\sin^2x + \cos^2x = 1$ gives, upon division by $\cos^2x,$ $\tan^2x + 1 = 1/ \cos^2x = \sec^2x.$

23. $(\sqrt{3})/2$

31. $4s(t) = 7.5\cos(\pit/6) + 87.5$

33. $y_{1}$ is shown in black, $y_{3}$ in red, and $y_{5}$ in yellow.

$\frac{2}{\pi}$

$\frac{2}{3\pi}$

$\frac{2}{5\pi}$

$\frac{2}{7\pi}$

$\frac{2}{9\pi}$

$\frac{2}{11\pi}$

Here is its graph.

35. The period is approximately $12.6$ units
