Trigonometric graph help?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah what exactly is the question ? :)

OpenStudy (bruno102):

what is the equation of that graph

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

heard of `period` and `amplitude` before ?

OpenStudy (bruno102):

No :(

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

easy - they're just properties of a wave

OpenStudy (bruno102):

Okay

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look at the graph : the curve is swinging up and down continuously... can you tell the middle line of wave ?

OpenStudy (bruno102):

middle line?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, its going as high as 2, and sinking down as low as -2 so the middle value is (-2+2)/2 = 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

middle line will be y = 0 or the x axis itself

OpenStudy (bruno102):

Ohh yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

amplitude = distance between this middle line and the highest value

OpenStudy (bruno102):

ok
