Find the domain, period, range, and amplitude of the cosine function. y = -6cos4x
\[If\ \ y=A \cos (Bx+C)\] then the amplitude is |A| and the period T is given by \[T=\frac{2 \pi}{B}\] The range is [-A, A] The domain is\[x \in R\]
A. domain = ; period = 6; range: ; amplitude = B. domain = all real numbers; period = ; range: ; amplitude = 6 C. domain = all real numbers; period = ; range: ; amplitude = -6 D. domain = -; period = 6 ; range: ; amplitude =
ohh that didn't work hold on
I have already given you the domain, which is the set of all real numbers. The period value must include pi, so choices A and D can be eliminated. Therefore your choices come down to either B or C. To find the period, identify the number equivalent to B in the standard form equation. Then plug the number into \[T=\frac{2 \pi}{B}\]
Okay thank you so much!
You're welcome :)
