You are strongly encouraged to do all three parts. However, only part (b) is entered here to be graded.
(a) Make a scatter plot of the data.
(b) Use a graphing calculator to find the sine function that best fits the data.
(c) Graph the function you found in part (b) together with the scatter plot. (How well does the curve fit the data?)
Comments: Enter your answer as an expression, and be sure your variables match those in the question. To err on the side of caution, enter at least 4 decimal places for each value from the calculator (and remember to round appropriately).
