Question 871163: I have to do the following question:
"At rest, the human heart beats once every second. At the strongest part of the
beat, a person’s blood pressure peaks at 120mmHg. At the most relaxed part
of the beat, a person’s blood pressure drops to 80mmHg. Supposing that t = 0
corresponds to the peak of the beat, write down a trigonometric function that
captures this behaviour. Sketch the blood pressure over two heart beats."
What I have used is a cosine function, because the graph begins at the max and it's easier to use a cosine function.
My formula is 100+20cos(t(2pi))
Amplitude: (120-80)/2 = 20
Period - 1 sec = 2pi / 1 = 2pi
Max = 120
Min = 80
Vertical shift (and midline) = Max - amp = 120-20 = 100
Can someone please tell me if I have done this correctly. I just need the correct formula to do the graph.
Thanks in advance,

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes, your equation is correct.
Sine or cosine, it doesn't matter, they are the same curve only phase shifted.
