For the function y = -2 + 5sin((π/12)(x - 2)) , what is the maximum value?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

value of sin lies between + and -1

OpenStudy (ankit042):

+1*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay... So how do I go from here?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

y = -2 +max(sin)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 and -5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But the max is 3..

OpenStudy (ankit042):

yeah good but we want to find the max value of function y. so choose between 5 and -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 + 5 = 3

OpenStudy (ankit042):

Yes Great!
