  • Identify periodic behaviour in real-world contexts (tides, daylight, sound, rotating machinery).
  • Model periodic phenomena using $y = A \sin(B(x - C)) + D$ and $y = A \cos(B(x - C)) + D$.
  • Identify and interpret amplitude, period, mean (vertical shift) and phase shift.
  • Fit a sinusoidal model to data using technology.
  • Use a fitted model to predict and interpret values in context.
  • Investigate transformations of more general set functions and piecewise periodic functions.EXT
  • Explore the tangent function.ENR
