25. = |cos|. Start with the graph of = cos, shrink horizontally by a factor of , and reflect all the parts of the graph
below the axis about the axis.

Start with the graph of =

, shift 1 unit downward, and then reflect the portion of the graph below the
axis about the axis.
27. This is just like the solution to Example 4 except the amplitude of the curve (the 30 ◦ N curve in Figure 9 on June 21) is
14 − 12 = 2. So the function is () = 12 + 2sin

. March 31 is the 90th day of the year, so the model gives
(90) ≈ 1234 h. The daylight time (5:51 AM to 6:18 PM ) is 12 hours and 27 minutes, or 1245 h. The model value differs
from the actual value by
1245−1234

≈ 0009, less than 1%.
28. Using a sine function to model the brightness of Delta Cephei as a function of time, we take its period to be 54 days, its
amplitude to be 035 (on the scale of magnitude), and its average magnitude to be 40. If we take = 0 at a time of
average brightness, then the magnitude (brightness) as a function of time in days can be modeled by the formula
() = 40 + 035sin

and period 12 hours. High tide occurred at time 6:45 AM ( = 675 h), so the curve begins a cycle at time = 675 h (shift
6.75 units to the right). Thus, () = 5cos

32. The most important features of the given graph are the intercepts and the maximum
and minimum points. The graph of = 1() has vertical asymptotes at the values
where there are intercepts on the graph of = (). The maximum of 1 on the graph
of = () corresponds to a minimum of 11 = 1 on = 1(). Similarly, the
minimum on the graph of = () corresponds to a maximum on the graph of
= 1(). As the values of get large (positively or negatively) on the graph of
= (), the values of get close to zero on the graph of = 1().

For () =
