Composition of Ordinates / Harmonic Analysis Problems

1. Which equation is of the proper form for this trigonometric graph? Provide a detailed
explanation as to how you made your selection / why it is the correct choice.

A) y = 5 sin (x) + 2 cos (ax) ∙ cos (bx) B) y = 5 sin (x) + 2 sin (ax) ∙ sin (bx)

C) y = 5 sin (x) + 2 sin (ax) ∙ cos (bx) D) y = 5 cos (x) + 2 cos (ax) ∙ sin (bx)

4. Create one problem similar to the ones you completed above. Come up with either an
equation or graph you would give to a group of students to practice one of the above
skills, and give the solution with its explanation. Explain why you chose this problem
and how it would help students to understand the concept. Make sure to supply the
accompanying graph in either the problem or solution and make sure the scale on the
graph is visible.
