what is the formula for frequency in calculus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Frequency of what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\omega/2\pi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to tell us what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=4sec(pi-5pix)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\omega\]=5pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would be the initial phase?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=4sec(pi-5pix) plug in 0 for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= 4 Sec (pi) -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my options are pi, 0 , pi/2, -pi/2 and -pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Purely trigonometric functions take the following form: \[ y = A \sin(\omega x + \phi)\] where A is the amplitude, omega is the angular frequency, and phi is the initial phase.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wrong :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is perhaps a difference in notation. I write \[ A \sin(\omega x + \phi)\] but it's perfectly okay to write \[A\sin(\omega x - \phi)\] and it would mean exactly the same thing. If this is how you have been taught, then the answer should be -pi, but you should note that they're exactly the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i got it :D what about for y=-4 sex(5/4 pi x) +4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be zero in that case.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thank you so much
