not quite, reflection across y would be cos(-x) not -cos(x)

zarkam21:
Ugh I'm confused

Vocaloid:
just compare 3cos(x) and cos(x)
what does multiplying 3 by the entire function do to cos(x)?

zarkam21:
C

Vocaloid:
good, a vertical stretch by 3 so C is the only possibility

Vocaloid:
any ideas/thoughts so far? it's good to get a mental image of what these graphs look like so you can at least eliminate a few possibilities

Vocaloid:
like, only cot(x) and tan(x) have that swoopy line pattern [very scientific i know] so between cot(x) and -tan(x) which one matches the graph?

zarkam21:
cot

C

Vocaloid:
that's a good guess but not quite, the 3 is multiplied so its stretching the cos not shifting it
as a hint pay attention to what pi is doing, is it shifting it up or down?

Vocaloid:
you can re-write the function as -3cos(x-2) + pi if that makes it easier

anyway, made any progress on this q yet?
6 years ago
zarkam21:
No I meant down,, as for the answer =) ;p
6 years ago
Vocaloid:
oh
since we're adding pi the shift would be up not down so A
