Step 1) find the vertical distance from the highest peak to the lowest valley Step 2) take the result in step 1, and cut that distance in half

no way its that easy?! so 4?!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep the amplitude is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well awesome thank you!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

put another way, the amplitude is the vertical distance from the midline to either the peak or valley
