hint:
y = A*sin(Bx - C) + D
is the general sine equation
|A| is the amplitude
T = 2pi/B is the period
y = D is the equation of the midline
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 7 sin 8x + 3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is the value of B in this case?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so the period is
T = 2pi/B
T = 2pi/8
T = pi/4
but we want the period to be pi/2 instead
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
So the equation can't be y = 7*sin(8x) + 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7sin (pu/4x)+3.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
pi*
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what's B this time?

pi over 4
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
T = 2pi/B
T = 2pi/(pi/4)
T = 2pi*(4/pi)
T = 8pi/pi
T = 8
Again, we don't get pi/2 like we want to, so it can't be that equation either
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would you habe pi or no
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
the given period we want is T = pi/2
T = 2pi/B
pi/2 = 2pi/B
Solve for B to get B = ???
