Trig Graph

1. The document contains 5 practice problems involving graph sketching and modeling of functions in the form of y = p cos qx, y = a sin b(x - c), and y = A cos (B(t - 1)) + C. The problems involve identifying parameter values from graphs, finding maximums/minimums, and determining intervals where a function satisfies certain conditions. 2. Sample solutions are provided for parameter values, maximum/minimum points, and intervals where a function is above or below given values based on analyzing the graphs and cosine/sine function properties. 3. The practice problems cover a range of skills including identifying parameter values from graphs, finding maximums/minimums,
