HI!!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the period of \(\cos(bx)\) is \[\huge \frac{2\pi}{b}\]

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

how do i find it though

OpenStudy (misty1212):

how do you find \(b\) ?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you have \[\cos(\frac{2\pi}{3}\theta)\] what is \(b\)?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

it is the number in front of \(\theta\)

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

|dw:1422293229540:dw|

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

That is incorrect

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

It is 3

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

for the period

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

you use the equation pb=2pi

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

the amplitude is the number in front of cosine. In this case, it is 1/4

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

mid-line is at y=0 because there are no vertical shifts in the equation. The mid-line is where you initiate the amplitude. From the mid-line, you go the distance,up and down, of the amplitude. ***I HOPE I HELPED ****
