Vocaloid:

hm, that doesn't look like a tan graph, it has the distinctive periodic motion of a sin or cos that's been shifted down and/or horizontally a bit, any other ideas?

A

Vocaloid:

hm, the regular sec(x) and csc(x) have range (-infinity,-1) U (1,infinity) so there must be some shift to the sec or csc function to produce the range in the problem, any thoughts on how you could change (-infinity,0) U (2,infinity)

Vocaloid:

what happens if we take the range (-infinity,-1) U (1,infinity) and "shift it up" by adding 1? what's the new range?

zarkam21:

either c or d

zarkam21:

because it is shifting up one

Vocaloid:

think about the range of a typical cos vs csc function, which one better matches the description in the problem?

zarkam21:

D

zarkam21:

NO actually c

Vocaloid:

the range of cos is typically (-1,1) so that wouldn't quite work, it has to be the csc function (answer C)

Vocaloid:

hm, that's not quite right, you can think about this question graphically by looking at a sec graph or finding the possible values when 1/cos(x) = 0

Vocaloid:

hm. not quite period = 2pi/b where b is the coefficient of x what does b have to be for 2pi/b to equal 2?

Vocaloid:

you might be overthinking this a bit, you just need to solve 2pi/b = 2 for b

Vocaloid:

multiplying both sides by b gives us 2pi = 2b b = ?

zarkam21:

3.14

Vocaloid:

good, or pi, so the coefficient of x needs to be pi, which is the only choice that has this?

zarkam21:

A

Vocaloid:

check the answer choices again, which one has pi*x inside the trig function

zarkam21:

ugh

zarkam21:

um c

acutally b ?

Vocaloid:

cos(x + pi/2) is a shift to the left not right as a hint, which function has the same domain + range as cos?

zarkam21:

B

zarkam21:

Actually sin

zarkam21:

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

yup sin is right
