Well I'll give you a clue. Amplitude=Height of wave.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know the answer has to be B or C.

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Mmmmm... What makes you think that

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

hint : see the value of y for x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this a cosine graph?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

y= d+a sin(bx-c) y= d+a cos (bx-c) amplitude =a. The vertical stretching or shrinking if your wave.

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Look up cosine and sine graphs on google and you will see which one yours is.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

also use shubham hint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks more like a cosine graph....

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

I disagree.. Also because you aren't looking at your amplitude.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah and he is done with amplitude when he said answer is between B and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its D!!! Right?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

That's what I think it is... But sassy pants seems to disagree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Who disagrees?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Amplitude = (high - low) / 2 = (4--2) /2 = 6/2 = 3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

D is the first option to remove from ur possible answers

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

cuz, oly A B and C have amplitudes of 3

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

I was always taught that amplitude is simply absolute value of a.

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

It's c

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

here the graph is shifted up by 1 unit

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Who's been teaching me -_-

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Checking height at x=2 would have been sufficient to cross-check any option .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So wait whats the right answer?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes that uniquely tells C is the correct equation

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

What??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you that it is shifted one to the left? how did u get 3?
