***Fully label your graphs for full marks!***
1. Sketch a graph of
Show your calculations for the transformation of 5 key points. This means algebriacally using the mapping
rule (or similar) or transform the points graphically, and not just listing all of the transformations.

Part D – Application [APP – 12 marks]
1. A softball pitcher winds up and spins her arm around before releasing the ball. The pitcher’s shoulders are
1.35 m tall and arm is 0.36 m long. The pitcher can spin her arm 15 revolutions every 2 seconds and at t = 0 her
hand is it its maximum height.
a) Determine an sinusoidal equation to represent the height of the pitcher's hand.
b) Determine the height of the pitcher's hand at t = 0.1 seconds.

c) Determine whether the instantaneous rate of change of the height of her hand is positive, negative or zero at
t = 0.1
2. The tides at Cape Capstan, New Brunswick, change the depth of the water in the harbour. On one day in
October, the tides have a high point of approx. 10 m at 2 p.m. and a low point of approx. 1.2 m at 8:15 p.m. A
particular sailboat has a draft of 2 m (this means that it can only move in water that is at least 2 m deep). The
captain of the sailboat plans to exit the harbour at 6:30 p.m. Can the captain exit the harbour safely in the
sailboat at 6:30 p.m.?
