Modeling U.S. Census Housing Data with Sinusoidal Functions


  • Students will understand how changes in the constant values A, B, C, and D impact the function Asin(Bx+C)+D.
  • Students will analyze the strength of their model by minimizing the sum of the squared errors.
  • Students will learn how to incorporate a trend line into the sinusoid in the form Asin(Bx+C)+mx+b.
