Bounding curves in harmonic motion
Harmonic motion graphs may be enclosed by bounding curves. When a function has a varying
amplitude , such that the amplitude rises and falls multiple times within a period, we can determine the bounding curves from part of the function.

Key concepts
- Sinusoidal functions are represented by the sine and cosine graphs. In standard form, we can find the amplitude, period, and horizontal and vertical shifts. See
[link] and
[link] .
- Use key points to graph a sinusoidal function. The five key points include the minimum and maximum values and the midline values. See
[link] .
- Periodic functions can model events that reoccur in set cycles, like the phases of the moon, the hands on a clock, and the seasons in a year. See
[link] ,
[link] ,
[link] and
[link] .
- Harmonic motion functions are modeled from given data. Similar to periodic motion applications, harmonic motion requires a restoring force. Examples include gravitational force and spring motion activated by weight. See
[link] .
- Damped harmonic motion is a form of periodic behavior affected by a damping factor. Energy dissipating factors, like friction, cause the displacement of the object to shrink. See
[link] ,
[link] ,
[link] ,
[link] , and
[link] .
- Bounding curves delineate the graph of harmonic motion with variable maximum and minimum values. See
[link] .

If we want to model cumulative rainfall over the course of a year, would a sinusoidal function be a good model? Why or why not?
Since cumulative rainfall is always increasing, a sinusoidal function would not be ideal here.
