Using the computer software"Nucalc,"I graphed a regular circle. I overlaid it with a circle with the same radius but with a sine function added to the equation of that circle. I noticed that adding a sine function to a circle creates bumps,so I defined a"bump"as a curve that is outside but still intersecting the original circle. I made t-charts to record the amount of bumps I saw as I increased the period of the sine function. I recorded the number of bumps up to the 25th period. I made t-charts using circles with radio of two through six. With ellipses,I followed the same procedures,and I used ellipses of different sizes for my t-charts.
