Q. The graph of a sinusoidal function has a maximum point at (0,5) and then has a minimum point at (2π,−5).Write the formula of the function, where x is entered in radians.f(x)=
Amplitude Calculation: The amplitude A of the sinusoidal function is half the distance between the maximum and minimum values. The maximum value is 5 and the minimum value is −5, so the amplitude is (5−(−5))/2=10/2=5.
Period Calculation: The period (T) of the sinusoidal function is the distance between a maximum point and the next minimum point. Since the maximum is at x = 0 and the minimum is at x = 2π, the period is 2π−0=2π.
Value of B Calculation: The value of B in the function f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+D is related to the period by the formula B=T2π. Since T=2π, B=2π2π=1.
Vertical Shift Calculation: Since the maximum point is at (0,5), we know that the vertical shift (D) is equal to the maximum value, which is 5.
Horizontal Shift Calculation: The function starts at a maximum point when x=0, which means there is no horizontal shift (C=0) and the cosine function is appropriate to use because cos(0)=1.
Final Equation: Substituting A=5, B=1, C=0, and D=5 into the f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+D gives us the final equation f(x)=5cos(x)+5.
