SINUSOIDAL CURVE FITTING
(S6.6)

When we examine data that repeats

in a cycle, we can represent that
data using a sinusoidal function.

Can you think of other data that
could be represented using a
sinusoidal curve?

We can use our

calculators to
perform a
Sinusoidal
Regression to
nd the best-
tting function.

The chart shows the average monthly temperatures in Denver,

Colorado. Find the sinusoidal function that models this data.

What is the midline of your function? What does this represent in

context of the data?

Find the period of your function. Does this number make sense in
context of the data? Explain.
