1. tan x and cot x ?
Hm. I think so. (don't quite remember if tan is considered the parent of cot)
anyway, for 2) going from 4 to (1/2) means we divided by 8, so this would be a vertical compression does multiplying the function by -1 reflect across y or x?
y
good, so answer choice 2 is the only possibility
3 is the hard one with 3 answers
I think you posted #4 twice, I don't see a #3
4 is either a or c because b and d is like who made these answer choices lol
the period of 4 is 6pi (since it takes 6 pi units to repeat a cycle) to figure out how we would write that into the equation, find the value of b where period = 2pi/b
is answer a because i graphed c and it didn't turn out like the graph
for #4? no if 6pi = 2pi/b what is b?
2pi/3 ? i know the period is 2 pi
the period is not 2pi, it is 6pi (from looking at the graph, it takes 6pi to repeat the cycle)
period = 6pi = 2pi/b b= ?
huh i calculated in mathway
1/3
good, so b = (1/3) making the equation sin(x/3) = answer C
that's all the questions I can see, you didn't post #3 yet
now number3
scroll up i did
here it is again
well we know that the period of sec is normally 2pi, but here it's 6pi, so using our reasoning from before sec(x/3) has to be part of the equation it's shifted up by 2 so sec(x/3) + 2 should be one of them
is d another?
yeah, d works too (I was trying to figure out why but the graph does come out identical)
now the difficult part is to figure out which csc graph works, I would honestly just graph them b/c it's difficult to telll from the equation
f maybe or e ?
just from graphing (I don't remember how to do this by hand atm) it comes out to be y = -csc(x/3 + 3pi/2) +2 being the one that matches
ok
you sure its not positive
