how can we now the max and the min of a function without graphing it eg:Y=-2sin 1/3(X-45°)+4(one third all times x-45)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you familiar with differentiation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there must be a way that you can tell without graphing just by looking at the func do u know any?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, you need to know the min/max of the sine function So you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is do you? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is one and -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for sine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, for sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how can i find for this fcn? is it max 6 and min -6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you need to know? Where it has max/min, or what is the max/min?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the max and min because it has max and min it is a logaritmic fcn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we know the amplitude that is 2 but how does it help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than you need to know where does sinx has min/max

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than you can compare, so do you know or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i need to know the max and min value of y ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is just -2, 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is not that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or the +4 is outside than 2, 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

max 6 and min -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Min 2 max 6 As sinx goes from -1 to 1 -2sinx goes from -2 to 2 and you add 4 for all values so min: -2+4=2 max:2+4=6

thnx a lot
