Answer 5

i need to find that for those two equations

Answer 6

do you know how to do that?

Answer 7

It doesn't get much easier than this. Especially if you have the graphs, but even if not...

The amplitude of a sine or cosine graph is the number in front of the sine or cosine. Amplitude tells you the max value of the graph (when there is no vertical shift, which there isn't here)

Answer 8

theres no vertical shift in neither of them?

Answer 9

so the amplitude of the first one is 2
and the amplitude of the second one is 3

Answer 10

for the part `explain how to find the maximum value for each function` you can graph each function on the same xy grid then see which has the highest point.

Desmos is a good tool to graph

just make sure that each equation gets its own line

Answer 11

so i can just write i used desmos to see which one had the highest point?

Answer 12

here are the two equations graphed together

take note of the color coding (eg: the first equation in red corresponds to the red curve)

Answer 13

`so i can just write i used desmos to see which one had the highest point?`
or whatever graphing tool you use

Answer 14

i usually use desmos so yeah that would be fine, thankyou so much
have a goodnight
