A woman’s blood pressure, in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), can be modelled with a high of 120 mmHg 0.375
seconds after recording, and a low of 80mmHg 0.75 seconds after recording.
Create a sine function that models the person’s blood pressure, in mmHg, at any time after recording:

Amplitude Period Horizontal Shift Vertical Shift

0 100
100 0.1875

Function of the woman’s blood pressure, in mmHg, at any time after recording:

W(t) = y= AsinB(x+c)+D = 100sin0.1875(x+0)+100

The period of the blood pressure represents the time it takes one heartbeat to complete. What is the
woman’s heartrate (measured in beats per minute)?

BPM:

The woman in question is 9-weeks pregnant, and her prenatal baby’s blood pressure is also recorded at
120mmHg 0.37 seconds after recording, and 60 mmHg at 0.545 seconds after recording. What is her
prenatal baby’s heartrate (measured in beats per minute)?

Amplitude Period Horizontal Shift Vertical Shift

Function of the prenatal baby’s blood pressure, in mmHg, at any time after recording:

B(t) =

Find B’(t). What does this function represent? What would the units be?

B(t) =

At 0.4 seconds after the recording starts, what is happening to the blood pressure of the baby and the
mother? Circle one.
a) The blood pressure of both the mother and prenatal baby are increasing
b) The blood pressure of both the mother and prenatal baby are decreasing
c) The blood pressure of the mother is increasing but the prenatal baby’s is decreasing
d) The blood pressure of the mother is decreasing but the prenatal baby’s is increasing

2. Two ships leave port at 3 p.m. One is headed at a bearing of N 38 E and is traveling at 12 miles per hour. The
other is traveling 24 miles per hour at a bearing of S 47 E. How far apart are they when dinner is served at 6
p.m.?

3. A pilot is travelling at 30 degrees North of West at 150 kilometers per hour. A wind begins to blow at 45
degrees North of East at 60 kilometers per hour. If the pilot decides to fly due West, then how fast would the
pilot need to fly to continue travelling at 150 km/hour at 30 degrees North of West?
