Maple Tool 1

This tool is designed to be used with Activity 1 in Section 5.4.

 The constants alpha  and beta  determine the graphing window, with t  varying between -alpha  and alpha  and y  between -beta  and beta .

>    alpha:=4*Pi;
beta:=2;

>   

alpha := 4*Pi

beta := 2

Vary the constants A , B , C , and delta  one at a time. (We use delta  in place of D  because D  is a protected symbol in Maple.)  You may need to change the size of the viewing window as you change the constants.

>    A:=1;
B:=1/2;
C:=-2;
delta:=0.3;
f:=t->A+B*sin(C*(t-delta));
plot(f(t), t=-alpha..alpha, view=[-alpha..alpha,-beta..beta], labels=[t,y], thickness=2);

A := 1

B := 1/2

C := -2

delta := .3

f := proc (t) options operator, arrow; A+B*sin(C*(t-delta)) end proc
