Can someone check my answer please? My answer is A, but I just need someone to double check for me, thank you!(: @mathstudent55 @mrnood
The period is the time (x axis) distance between 2 similar points on the periodic function (such as the low spikes) You have correctly counted that=4 Since a is th eonly answer with 4 as the period it seems correct. I am not too sure about the amplitude of non symettrical forms - it is normally the height from 'base to peak' which I would read as 4 in your graph - but that does not correspond with answer a
Wait, but if 4 is the correct answer for the periodic function, do you think it would be option B? Because the line going down is closest to negative four?
My best answer would be Period = 4 Amplitude = -4 but that doesn't correspond with your answer. I don't think period CAN be negative
It implies the pairs are in the order (period,amplitude)
Which makes me think it is option A because as you said and from what I learnt, the period cannot be negative.
@MrNood What do you think?
BUT "Amplitude is the distance from the rest position to the crest position" which is -4 in your case... sorry - I don't see a clear answer here...how can amplitude be 2?
