Homework Statement
"A manufacturer of corrugated metal wants to produce metal roofing panels that are 28 in. wide and 2 in. thick by processing flat metal sheets."
the illustration shows that by "2 in. thick" they are referring to the distance between the crest and valley of the sine wave.
******************************************************************************
"Verify that the equation of the sine wave is y=sin[(pi*x)/7]"
This is the part that has me confused.
******************************************************************************
"Find the width w of a flat metal sheet needed to make a 28-inch panel."
Here they are just asking "Find the arc length of the sine wave from x=0 to x=28" yes?
Homework Equations
y=sin[(pi*x)/7]
The Attempt at a Solution
I haven't started the problem yet, my question is how would I verify the equation of the sine wave?
