OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

which do you think? @SantanaG?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea :(

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

Try using some numbers, it might help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like what #s though?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

can you find the sine of 0 ?

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

Like that :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is sine of 0, 0?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yes

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what about the cosine of zero ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

goood, looking at the graph , we see the line passes through the origin , which two options does this eliminate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the cosine ones b/c it equals 1

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ok good, so we have to choose between y= sin x, y= -sin x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yepp :)

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

-sinx

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

can you find the sine of π/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah hold on plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sine of pi/2=0

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

nope,

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[\sin(π/2)=\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

thats better

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so we have these points |dw:1359689543363:dw|
