Choose trigonometric functions (sine and cosine) to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.

Example Problems
A piston's vertical position (in cm) is y(t)=4[−sin((2π/0.04)t)]+5, where t is seconds.
What is the position at
t=0.01 s?
An EEG α‑wave signal is B(t)=80cos[2π⋅10(t–0.0125)] µV, where t is in seconds. What is the phase shift expressed in milliseconds?
The magnitude of a variable star is M(t)=14.2–1.3cos[5.42π​(t–1.1)], with t in days.
What is its magnitude at
t=3.8 days?
