Here is a cosine function we will graph. The a-value is the number in front of the sine function, which is 4. This makes the amplitude equal to |4| or 4. The graph of the function has a maximum y-value of 4 and a minimum y-value of -4. The b-value is the number next to the x-term, which is 2. This means the period is 360 degrees divided by 2 or 180.

A jib is  the forward most triangular sail on a ship. Luffing is a nautical term for when the sail flutters because it is pointed straight into the wind instead of catching it. A luffing jib also refers to a type of crane that is used in tight areas, usually in urban environments. This crane can operate so that its boom is able to be maneuvered in smaller areas so that neighboring property owners do not need to be contacted for permission to operate.
