C?! Use the function below: http://prntscr.com/ba8xdy What are the amplitude and midline? Amplitude: 1; midline: y = 1 Amplitude: 0; midline: y = 0 Amplitude: 2; midline: y = 1 <---- Amplitude: 2; midline: y = 0

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

Amplitude is half the difference between highest and lowest value.\[\frac{ (y _{_{HI}} - y _{LO}) }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (vladthepro):

so it would be 1?

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

I'm here to help. What is the maximum y? What is the minimum? What happens when you subtract and divide by two?

OpenStudy (vladthepro):

it will equal 2

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

("Y" is the up-and-down direction, if that is your difficulty)

OpenStudy (vladthepro):

brb

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

and half 2 is one, so that is your amplitude. Next, midline

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

Midline is the _average_ between high and low values. \[midline = \frac{ y_{HI} - y_{LO} }{ 2 }\] Or, in other words, a number halfway between hi and low values.

Oh k I see how this works. Thx for ur time and help :)
