Which function has the graph shown? A.y=3cos4x B.y=csc(x)-1 C.y=3cos(-x) D.y=-2-cos(x-pi)

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Well if it goes through (0,0) then it sin but for this one it starts at (0,3) so that means it is ?

OpenStudy (simpligic):

csc?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Close but it is Cos remember ? So now we got that, how do we find the points? What do we do with the x?

OpenStudy (simpligic):

would the answer be D?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

You tell me, where does the point start on the Y axis?

OpenStudy (simpligic):

3 right?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Correct so what would it start up as? 2cos or 3cos?

OpenStudy (eliesaab):

3 cos(-x)=3cos(x) is the answer

OpenStudy (simpligic):

3cos

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Lets do this. To find the x's we have to do what with the x's We have to set them equals to this equation' 4x=0 and 4x=2pi

Hello! :) You seem more than willing to help around here, which is mighty fine since we need all the help we can get :) But beware! This site has a policy for "Give Help, Not Answers" And breaking such rules could get you kicked off the site… It's great to see another helper among us, so it would be sad if you got in trouble for giving out answers. :( How about instead, you can try guiding people through their questions? :3 Thanks for being awesome and I'll see ya around! ^_^ @eliesaab

OpenStudy (eliesaab):

The graph has period 2 Pi

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

correct @SIMPLIGIC Solve for x in the above problem

OpenStudy (eliesaab):

Amplitude of 3

OpenStudy (simpligic):

is it y=3cos(-x)??

OpenStudy (eliesaab):

Yes

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

COrrect :D

OpenStudy (simpligic):

thank you :D

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Welcome..Sorry if i was going long just trying to make sure you understand the concept and not just give the answer :D

OpenStudy (simpligic):

you have a good day :D and thats good for teaching me in a way haha

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Just remember you can always use the formula for sin and cos etc etc its longer but you will understand it better for now :D

OpenStudy (eliesaab):

Relax @jagr2713 , I thought you were giving too many guidance that the original poster was confused. That is also a straight forward problem.

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Thank you for helping @eliesaab
