Blood Pressure Each time your heart beats, your blood pressure first increases and then decreases as the heart rests between beats. The maximum and minimum blood pressures are called the systolic and diastolic pressures, respectively. Your blood pressure reading is written as systolic/diastolic. A reading of 120/80 is considered normal.
A certain person’s blood pressure is modeled by the function
where p(t) is the pressure in mmHg (millimeters of mercury), at time t measured in minutes.
- (a) Find the period of p.
- (b) Find the number of heartbeats per minute.
- (c) Graph the function p.
- (d) Find the blood pressure reading. How does this compare to normal blood pressure?

- Biorhythms A popular theory that attempts to explain the ups and downs of everyday life states that each person has three cycles, called biorhythms, which begin at birth. These three cycles can be modeled by the sine functions below, where t is the number of days since birth. Physical (23 days): P=sin2t23,t0 Emotional (28 days): E=sin2t28,t0 Intellectual (33 days): I=sin2t33,t0 Consider a person who was born on July 20,1995. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the three models in the same viewing window for 7300t7380. (b) Describe the person’s biorhythms during the month of September 2015. (c) Calculate the person’s three energy levels on September 22,2015.arrow_forwardUse sin0=0, sin2=1, and sin=0 to estimate sin3.arrow_forward
