Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises
1. The sine and cosine functions have the property that for a certain P. This means that the function values repeat for every P units on the x-axis. 3. The absolute value of the constant A (amplitude) increases the total range and the constant D (vertical shift) shifts the graph vertically. 5. At the point where the terminal side of t intersects the unit circle, you can determine that the sin t equals the y-coordinate of the point. 7. amplitude: ; period: 2π; midline: ; maximum: occurs at ; minimum: occurs at ; for one period, the graph starts at 0 and ends at 2π

43. The graph appears linear. The linear functions dominate the shape of the graph for large values of x.
45. The graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis and there is no amplitude because the function is not periodic.
