@Rydex21 Hi, \(\huge \color{red}{\text{Welcome to Open Study}}\ddot\smile\) y= A sin (mx+b) has the period of 2\(\pi\)/m Using this can you find the period of y=-8sin((pi/2)*x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 4?

hartnn (hartnn):

yup, thats correct! it will be 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

period must be zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For wavelength is 4

hartnn (hartnn):

@infauzan , wolf confirms that it is 4. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=period+of+y%3D-8sin%28%28pi%2F2%29*x%29

Wait i am sorry for this case, i think this question is about wave equation

hartnn (hartnn):

no problem, 4 is correct period :)
