Q. Find an equation for a sinusoidal function that has period 2π2\pi, amplitude 11, and contains the point (0,1)(0,-1). \newlineWrite your answer in the form f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+Df(x) = A\cos(Bx + C) + D, where AA, BB, CC, and DD are real numbers. \newlinef(x)=f(x) = _____
  1. Find Amplitude: Write the amplitude AA of the given problem.\newlineThe amplitude is the absolute value of the coefficient in front of the cosine function.\newlineA=1A = 1
  2. Determine Period and B: Determine the period TT and find the value of BB. The period TT is given as 2π2\pi. The value of BB determines the period of the sinusoidal function according to the formula T=2πBT = \frac{2\pi}{B}. B=2πTB = \frac{2\pi}{T} B=2π2πB = \frac{2\pi}{2\pi} B=1B = 1
  3. Solve for D: Solve for D. Substitute values of xx and f(x)f(x) into f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+Df(x) = A \cos(Bx + C) + D. Since the function contains the point (0,1)(0, -1), we have: 1=Acos(B(0)+C)+D-1 = A \cos(B(0) + C) + D 1=1cos(0+C)+D-1 = 1 \cos(0 + C) + D 1=cos(C)+D-1 = \cos(C) + D Since cos(C)\cos(C) has a maximum value of 11, and we need f(0)f(0) to be f(x)f(x)00, cos(C)\cos(C) must be at its maximum when f(x)f(x)22. This means f(x)f(x)33 must be an even multiple of f(x)f(x)44. However, to get a negative value, we need to shift the cosine function by f(x)f(x)44. Therefore, f(x)f(x)66. f(x)f(x)77 f(x)f(x)88 f(x)f(x)99
  4. Write Sinusoidal Function: Write the equation of the sinusoidal function.\newlineWe have found:\newlineA=1A = 1\newlineB=1B = 1\newlineC=πC = \pi\newlineD=0D = 0\newlineSubstitute values of AA, BB, CC, and DD into f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+Df(x) = A \cos(Bx + C) + D.\newlinef(x)=1cos(1x+π)+0f(x) = 1 \cos(1x + \pi) + 0\newlineB=1B = 100
