Trig unit help? @iPwnBunnies
Tru, amplitude is -4. For the period, when the variable is in the argument, you want it equal to 2pi. Since 2pi is a complete circle. 2x = 2pi. Solve for x, that's the period.
The phase shift, I can't remember. >.<
phase shift: sin(x+ph)
in this case:\[sin(mx+ph)\to sin(m(x+ph/m))\]
opposite signs move in opposite directions as with any horizontal shift of a graph
and amplitude is never negative if memory serves.
memory could be frazzled tho lol
I got pi/2 ? is that right?
Oh, tru. Amplitude can't be negative. I thought all the choices had -4 as amplitude, got a bit confused.
its a pi/2 shift yes, but take care of the direction ...
the period is multiplied so its quicker than the normal 2pi
2x = 2pi when x=pi ... the period is pi
hmm, so: amplitude = 4 period = pi phase shift = - pi/2 is that correct?
lets review this: -A sin(\(\rho\)x+\(\phi\)) A sin(-\(\rho\)x-\(\phi\)) A sin(\(\rho\)(-x-\(~\phi\)/\(\rho\))
yeah, in going with that one, 4, pi, -pi/2
ok, thanks :)
your welcome .. we can dbl chk with the wolf
ok :) do you have time to help with the other one?
the wolf is confused lol apparently -4sin(2x+pi) = 4sin(2x) making the phase shift irrelevant.

ok :D that's all I have left, anyway XD
you have a high and low tide, this gives you your amplitude and midline what are they?
high tide is 9 feet, low tide is 1 foot....
is the amplitude 4, the period 12, the vertical displacement is 5 .... and i don't know what the midline is.... ? is it right?
midline is the vertical displacement ... its the line the runs the the middle of the wave
OH! >.< ok
so, what I know is the equation is h(t) = a*cos((2pi/P)*t) + b ....
when b is 0 we are oscillating about y=0 :)
kx = 12 when x=2pi 2pik = 12 when k=6/pi for the multipier but i dont see that as an option
hmmm...... I got: h(t) = 4*cos((pi/6)*t) + 5 but that was yesterday... and I don't remember what I did O.o
its pi/6 :)
2pi = 12k for some reason doesnt register all the time
ok...
thanks to all! :)
YAY!!! THX SO MUCH!! 100% on my assignment ^_^ (does little happy dance)
