which of the following is the graph of f(x)=5 cos(2x) ? i think its between A and B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats option A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is option B

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

2 options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, well there are four options but when i graphed this i narrowed it down to these two because i am not quite sure which one resemnbles the graph or not

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Can you give me a guess, and why? your answer is actually in the choices you showed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i chose those two options because they both start off with having their points on the 'y' axis on 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

True, but the amplitude of the graph is 5. that means the max is 5, but the min is -5.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

there is no phase shift, so the min must be -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be this option C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

well no, because the period is pi

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

option c's period is clearly not at pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so option d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you still there @dtan5457 ?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yeah, and no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like yest it is c? but why do you believe it isnt? or are you telling me youre not here? lol @dtan5457
