please help! Question C)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The equation h(t) = a sin[b(t-c)] +d has the amplitude: |a| the period: \(\dfrac{2\pi}{b}\) the horizontal phrase shift is c units to the right the vertical phrase shift is d units up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that period=25.7 amplitude=25 phase shift= -3.5 vertical shift= 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im just not sure if that is in terms of cos or sin. Because the original coordinates when graphed is a cosine function but they ask for it in terms of a sine function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it not that if you shift sin function a \(\pi/2\) units, you have cos one? or vice versa?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then the cos function would be y=25cos(25.7(t+3.5)+30 what would the sin function be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You give me the period of cos is 25.7, that means the number right after cos is 0.244 not as you said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the period is 14 seconds but 360/14=25.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean 25cos0.244(t-3.5) +30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so then the sin function is y=25sin(25.7(t+3.5)+30?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, I got you!! you calculated !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why +3.5 not -3.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because -(-3.5) =+3.5 when put into the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, let it there now convert cos to sin the period is 25.7 , right? so 1/4*25.7 = 6.425

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you move the cos back to the left 6.425 to get the sin one, right? so sin becomes 25 sin(t-(-3.5+6.425) +30 got me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dat sit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you
