Question

The table shows the average temperature for three states that was recorded for a 12 month period. The data is periodic and can be modeled by a sinusoidal function. Compute the amplitude for the Austin, TX data.

A) 17.5

B) 35

C) 79.5

D) 159

Answer 1

periodic behaviour: not sinusoidal but periodic. so imagine it is a wave.

to answer their qu, you just need to find the difference between max and min values and divide by 2.

that's the amplitude
