Can I get some help??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wassup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it's probably pretty simple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a trigonometric function graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well let's figure out which one... f(x)= sin, cos, tan... etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either sin or cos right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so they are saying the graph is f(x) I'm assuming

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is confusing!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the graph is f(x) :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I pre-emptively thought I could help, but this is trig and I haven't even taken it yet... =0(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha comeonnn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is Trig :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well an f(x) that doesn't have a vertical translation can't be a trig function without going into -y I thought...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm as confused as you are lol or more so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh noes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok @Luigi0210 show us wassup

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You can kind of see it has an amp of 2 and an extended period by 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which means

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's all he got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm helping you get a good answer shh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Luigi0210 Can you explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sheesh, I was gonna give him a medal too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok do you know what an amplitude is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Extended period?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah how much it goes up by

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(vertically)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Here's the basic equation for trig transformations: http://prntscr.com/5a8smf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Angelina_Vella I have to say.. I'm a big (vertically) too challenged inebriation style to help and do a good job of it here... @Luigi0210 You linking person thinking they wanna do all the work you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To be honest I have no clue, I just pretend I'm smart and people buy it cuz I'm usually a bit smarter than them in math and stuff... I apologize

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aw mannn seriously??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh.. heh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Amplitude is how far from a median you are... so in this case, the minimum value and the maximum value divided by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But really I haven't studied trig hon so I can't help, I've totally wasted your time..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can't be that hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you figure this out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh noes

OpenStudy (nikato):

Actually, you can use either cos or sin. They both work!

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yea, but figuring out the shifts and such is a bit hard :P

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Sorry Angelina :/

OpenStudy (nikato):

lets use cos. so this is how one without shifts or anything look like |dw:1416984063623:dw|
