Task 1: Modeling Precipitation
Suppose that the precipitation in Chicago can be modeled by a trigonometric function.
Represent time in months elapsed since the beginning of the year (in other words, in January ; February ). The average monthly precipitation for the year is inches, and February is the driest month of the year with inches of precipitation.
Identify the independent and dependent variables, both with letter names ( and ) and what they represent in this scenario.
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
