Use the graph below to answer the question that follows:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is fx 2 cos x-pi/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when u are evaluating the graph, u take some points on it for cross verification eg: when x=0 on the graph,y=2 similarly x=pi/2, y=0 substitute them in the options, u will get answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U know where the amplitude is and period is , it is cos because it is not starting from 0 and positive 2 because if its -2 then the graph would be flipped

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take a point (0,2) substitute x=0 in options answer should be y=2 cospi/2=cos(-pi/2)=0 sinpi/2=1 sin(-pi/2)=-1 find where y becomes 2 when x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but given (x-pi/2) in the equation, so it should be other way around

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is it \[f(x)=2\cos(x-\pi/2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no answer should be sine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=-2\sin(x-\pi/2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaa right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Standard form of cosine function: y=Acos(Bx-C), with A=amplitude, Period=2π/B, phase-shift=C/B use it in your question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here A=-4 B=3 C=pi so substitute them in the above formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what si question here i cant see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No that is for the equation you gave me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is D, thanks @Loser66

OpenStudy (loser66):

why thanks me?? I did nothing for you,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What cosine function represents an amplitude of 3, a period of π, no horizontal shift, and a vertical shift of 2? (5 points) f(x) = 2 cos 2x + 3 f(x) = 3 cos πx + 2 f(x) = 2 cos πx + 3 f(x) = 3 cos 2x + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is C i think not D @gamer456148

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66 Is it C?

OpenStudy (loser66):

which question???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (loser66):

to me, it's D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

amplitude is negative in the question, isnot it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i think we should take mod for anser pardon me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66

OpenStudy (loser66):

@minoz for the previous question, I chose D because of the vertical phase shift D=1, If you choose C, (because of the amplitude -3, right? if it is so, I don't know how to say. Because I was taught that amplitude = 1/2 (max +min), therefore, no matter what the sign of A is, the amplitude is ALWAYS positive), then how do you explain for D =+1 while in C option, D =-1??? @gamer456148 I guess!!! you are not sure about what you learn for this kind of problem. You ask many questions (or your homework) about this. All of them are same topic. Can you try one? if you were wrong, we can help you correct. If I help you do your homework, who get the stuff? you or me?? think of it. the answer for the last question is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

#5 is D and #6 is D

OpenStudy (loser66):

those are my choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This one is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And this one

OpenStudy (loser66):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is \[-8/\pi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@minoz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(f(2pi)-f(pi))/(2pi-pi)=(-4-4)/pi=-8/pi u r right
