Because the volu me increases and decreases, we

can use the basic sine function as our parent
function so our model will be in the form:
B (t) = d + a sin [b (t +;)]

The volume varies by + 250 mL (in & out) so the

amplitude is a = 250 (vertical stretch).

Because there must be 2000 m L of air that remains

in the lungs (mínimum), then the maximu m volume
is 2500 mL making the average volume be 2250
mL so d = 2250, vertical shift of 2250 units
upward.

The period of the model is 4 seconds but the period

of y = sin t is 2rr, so the horizontal stretching factor
. b 2rr rr
IS = -=

We Jet the phase shift equal to O for simplicity of

e
the model: - = O
b

Hence, the model is:

V ( t) = 2 250 + 250 sin (t) f-ANSWER
