Math Problem Statement
I am going to describe a graph to you, and I need you to write the equation of the graph to me please: Markings on the x-axis indicate -18°, -9°, 0°, 9°, 18°, 27°, and 36°. There is a dotted line indicating either sine or cosine, with peaks at the -18° and 18° marks and valleys at the 0° and 36° marks. There are zeros at the -9°, 9°, and 27° marks. The zeros are at y=1, the peaks are at y=3, and the valleys are at y=-1. On the actual graph, there are asymptotes at the -9°, 9°, and 27° marks. There are parabolas starting at (-18°, 3) and (18°, 3) going up to infinity and parabolas starting at (0°, -1) and (36°, -1) going down to negative infinity.
