The Sine Function

Question 8 • Applications and Modeling

A sine curve is periodic. What does this mean?

Answer
A
the curve goes through one cycle and starts over
B
there is no pattern
C
the amplitude stays the same
D
one period equals 180 degrees

Explanation

A periodic curve repeats the same pattern after a fixed interval. For a sine curve, it completes one cycle and then starts that pattern over again, which matches “the curve goes through one cycle and starts over.” A period is not always 180 degrees; the standard sine curve has a period of 360 degrees.
