MAS164: Semester 1 Mathematics Assignment - Function Analysis

This document presents a comprehensive solution to a mathematics assignment focusing on trigonometric functions and wave analysis. The assignment includes several parts, starting with the analysis of a trigonometric function f(t) = -1 + 4sin(π(t-1)/2), where the amplitude, period, maximum, and minimum values are calculated, and a graph is sketched. The second part addresses a sound wave problem, requiring the creation of a trigonometric function to describe the wave, considering its frequency and intensity, and a graph is sketched. Finally, the assignment delves into calculus, deriving the rate of change of a given function using first principles and finding the equation of a tangent to a curve at a specific point. The solution demonstrates a strong understanding of trigonometric functions, wave properties, and calculus concepts, providing step-by-step explanations and calculations.
