Joseph Fourier developed a method for modeling any function with a combination of sine and cosine functions. You can graph this with your calculator easily and watch the modeling in action. Make sure you’re in radian mode and let c=1:
f(x) = 4/(pi)*sin(x) 4/(3pi)*sin(3x) 4/(5pi)*sin(5x) 4/(7pi)*sin(7x) 4/(9pi)*sin(9x) 4/(11pi)*sin(11x)
Http:// is also an excellent resource for graphing this function. Click here for convenience: + 4/(3pi)*sin(3x) + 4/(5pi)*sin(5x) + 4/(7pi)*sin(7x) + 4/(9pi)*sin(9x) + 4/(11pi)*sin(11x)
