Trigonometric Graphs problem 47


A patient's blood pressure can be expressed as:




where is the blood pressure measured at time t.


[Pressure is measured in mmHg (millimeter of mercury) and is a unit for measuring blood pressure in medicine; one millimeter of mercury corresponds to 133.322 pascals.]


  • Determine the amplitude and period of the function p.


  • Determine the maximum blood pressure that can be measured and calculate when it occurs.


  • Sketch the graph p (t).


  • Find the first time the device detects 110 mmHg.
