Periodic phenomena are events that repeat at regular intervals. Here are some examples:
- Seasons: Yearly cycle due to Earth's tilt and orbit around the Sun.
- Tides: Ocean tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun.
- Day and Night: Daily cycle resulting from Earth's rotation.
- Heartbeats: Rhythmic contractions of heart muscles.
- Sound Waves: Periodic vibrations in a medium.
- Pendulum Motion: Back-and-forth swinging motion.
Analysis of Functions
1. \(f(x) = 2 \sin(3x) + 5\)
