(...) Yep! It's measured from the baseline to a peak (or a valley). (...) <grin> the term for that is half a wavelength, or Crest to Trough. Something like that. (A wavelength is measured from peak to peak, so peak to valley is 1/2 of it). (...) Yes (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Doh! I was trying to be so careful! I thought amplitude was the "height" from high to low--is it actually half that? At any rate, I meant to write the min occurs at y=60, so that the high points occur along the line y=180 and the low points (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I'm a little rusty myself, but there are bits and pieces here that don't quite add up, I think. Having a wavelength of 324 (I'm assuming you mean degrees, although you without stating degrees normally means radians) in which case your sin (...)

I'm working on something that's taxing my limited knowledge of trig functions, so forgive me if my terminology is a little messed up: I need to graph a sine function with a wavelength of 324 and an amplitude of 120 passing through point (0,180) at a (...)
