These equations model the vertical position, in feet above the ground, of a point at the end of a windmill blade. For each function, indicate the height of the windmill and the length of the windmill blades.
Which expression takes the same value as \(\cos(\theta)\) when \(\theta = 0, \frac{\pi}{2}, \pi,\) and \(\frac{3\pi}{2}\)?
\(\sin\left(\theta -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
\(\sin\left(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
\(\sin(\theta+\pi)\)
\(\sin(\theta-\pi)\)
Here is a graph of a trigonometric function.
Which equation does the graph represent?
\(y = 2\sin\left(\theta\right)\)
\(y = 2\cos\left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\)
\(y = 2\sin\left(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\)
\(y = 2\cos\left(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\)
The vertical position, \(v\), of a point at the tip of a windmill blade, in feet, is given by \(v(\theta) = 11 + 2\sin\left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\). Here \(\theta\) is the angle of rotation.
Match the trigonometric expressions with their graphs.
