What does function mean?

Serenity1jacksonsl:

well no direct answers but do you have a clue what the answer is

nikkixmarie:

no Becuase I have no clue what a function is

snowflake0531:

So you're in trig class but you don't know what a function is?.....

nikkixmarie:

No like I don’t know what it’s asking I lost my notebook full of my notes

nikkixmarie:

And you can be in a trig class and not be good at math

snowflake0531:

Midline, reflection, max, min, should be the easiest do you know where's the midline?

nikkixmarie:

I think so, isn’t there where it starts or like the middle of the graph

nikkixmarie:

And max and min yes

snowflake0531:

in A sin(b(x+c)) +D D is the midline, A is the amplitude So, what's midline

nikkixmarie:

is it b?

nikkixmarie:

So -2

snowflake0531:

wat in the Asin(b(x+c))+D D is the midline... So look at your function.. which number is in the place of D

snowflake0531:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @nikkixmarie So -2 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) no that would be amplitude

nikkixmarie:

-1

snowflake0531:

yes, so there's your midline

nikkixmarie:

I’m so sorry i struggle in this

snowflake0531:

And then we can know the maximum and minimum of the y-value of htis function Do you know what amplitude is?

nikkixmarie:

The height of the center of the line or curve

snowflake0531:

From the midline, how much it goes up /how much it goes down is equal, so, yea, ig that's the amplitude... don't rly get your definition So, from -1.... we have amplitude of 2 Which means the minimum is -1-2, and the maximum is -1+2

nikkixmarie:

What does the function mean, what is it asking?

snowflake0531:

So right now this is more of in the form of Asin(x+C) + D you kinda need to get the B out, because you need the value B to find period I think that's what it's asking you to do..... So we need to convert taht form to Asin(b(x+C) +D

nikkixmarie:

oh okay

snowflake0531:

I think that you can change it to -2sin(1/2(8x-pi) -1

nikkixmarie:

Is that what it means by function tho

snowflake0531:

So then because period is 2pi/B It would be 4pi as period

snowflake0531:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @nikkixmarie Is that what it means by function tho \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) just put the function as -2sin(1/2(8x-pi) -1 I'm not too sure, when I did this, we didn't have a line for function....

nikkixmarie:

Yea me either she’s teaching it in a very complicated way and gets mad when you ask for help

snowflake0531:

e.e

nikkixmarie:

So would 4pi be the period for most of the functions

snowflake0531:

the period for this one is 4pi i think ye

nikkixmarie:

Alright thanks

snowflake0531:

actually wait, hwen i graph it it's 1/2

snowflake0531:

yep, nevermind, the period is 1/2 But for reflection, it's yes, because if there's a negative sign, it flips

nikkixmarie:

Okay when it’s negative though do you graph it on the opposite side of the graph

nikkixmarie:

Or just stay on the positive side

snowflake0531:

What do you mean 'opposite side of the graph'

nikkixmarie:

Let me send a pic hold on

snowflake0531:

It kind of just reflects over its midline

nikkixmarie:

nikkixmarie:

do I graph it where the positive radians are or the negative

snowflake0531:

You do know that a function continues on forever.... right?

nikkixmarie:

clearly not. Why do u think I’m asking.

snowflake0531:

We have period of 1/2, which means that from the top to down, it's 1/4 pi graph it on desmos what do you mean.... you learn that a function continues on forever when you start learning about linear equations

nikkixmarie:

No because my math teachers don’t teach well

snowflake0531:

And because it continues on forever, it doesn't really matter which point you choose to start it at, as long as its on the graph somewhere it's fine

nikkixmarie:

I wasn’t aware.

snowflake0531:

i suggest using Desmos adn then comparing
