what is the graph of one cycle of a cosine curve with amplitude 2 period 2pi and a < 0?

OpenStudy (phi):

what is a< 0 mean ?

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

exactly my thought

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that A is less than 0?

OpenStudy (phi):

what A?

OpenStudy (phi):

if it means the A in A cos(x) then maybe it means -2 cos(x) type this into google plot -2*cos(x) to see a graph

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

its a regular cosine curve. Only the amplitude is 2 and the graph is negated. The period is 2π like the original Cos Θ graph. So just sketch it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like this?

OpenStudy (phi):

the distance from "bottom" to "bottom" is the distance between 0 and pi in other words, pi you want a period of 2pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it is correct.
