I NEED HELP!!! I HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION BUT NO ONE REACHES OUT TO HELP!!!! Write the equation of the sine function with amplitude of 8, period of 2π, phase shift of π/2, and a vertical shift of 10. How do i do this?

OpenStudy (czesc):

y=Asin(Bx+c) This is the basic sin function.

OpenStudy (czesc):

amplitude =A

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so 8sin(Bx+c)

OpenStudy (czesc):

2pi / B = period

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

OpenStudy (czesc):

yes

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

were did you get 2pi/8?

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

That isn't 8, that is B..

OpenStudy (czesc):

The period of the function sin is 2pi, you will need to memorize this. That divided by the letter B should equal your given period. :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

oh? now im confused... :(

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

8sin(Bx+c) I get that. because A=amplitude

OpenStudy (czesc):

2pi/b= the given period , now solve for B value

OpenStudy (czesc):

2pi/b=2pi, what is b

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

i have nooo idea how to solve for b actually ... :(
