Let the function f(x) have the form f(x) = Acos(x + C). To produce a graph that matches the one attached inside, what must the value of A be? (graph will be inside!) A. 4 B. 3 C. 2 D. 1 **not sure :( please explain? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graph :)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Would you agree that A is the amplitude?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is the amplitude of the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm is it 3?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes. Since the graph goes up to 3 and down to -3, the amplitude is 3

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So choose B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay... ohh i seee, so it was just asking what the amplitude was??

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. It asked us to find A and A is the amplitude.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome! thank you :)
