The 1200 represents the baseline population of the rabbits. The maximum number of rabbits is 1200 + 250 and the minimum number of rabbits is 1200 - 250. The number of coyotes is not a factor in the function. The basic sine function has a periodicity of 
, but the periodicity of the Rabbit population variation is 4 years. So 
multiplied times the number of years converts the 4 year periodicity of the real world situation to the periodicity that the sine function understands.
