last question of the night . << MEDAL >> The function y=2sin(π/2)x represents the position of a surfer in the ocean where x is the time in seconds and y is the height in feet above or below sea level. How long will it take the surfer to complete one full cycle as she rides the waves in the ocean? 2 seconds 4 seconds 8 seconds 16 seconds

OpenStudy (ranga):

The time taken for one full cycle of the sine function is called the period of the sine function. When y = Asin(Bx), the period = (2pi) / B.

OpenStudy (ranga):

Compare y = Asin(Bx) to y = 2sin(π/2)x What is B? Then plug that into the formula for the period (2pi) / B to get your answer.
