Q. The graph of a sinusoidal function has a minimum point at (0,3) and then intersects its midline at (5π,5).Write the formula of the function, where x is entered in radians.f(x)=□
Determine Amplitude: Determine the amplitude A of the function.Since the graph has a minimum point at (0,3) and intersects its midline at a higher value (5π,5), the amplitude is half the distance between the midline and the minimum point.Midline value = 5Minimum point value = 3Amplitude A = 2Midline−Minimum pointA=25−3A=22A=1
Find Vertical Shift: Find the vertical shift D of the function.The midline value gives us the vertical shift.D= Midline valueD=5
Determine Period: Determine the period T of the function.Since the function intersects its midline at (5π,5), and knowing that this happens at a quarter of the period for a sinusoidal function, we can find the period.T=4×(x-value at midline intersection)T=4×5πT=20π
Calculate Value of B: Calculate the value of B, which is related to the period T by the formula T=B2π. B=T2π B=20π2π B=101
Determine Function Type: Since the function has a minimum at x=0, we can determine that the function is a cosine function shifted by π/2 to the right, making it a sine function. Therefore, C=π/2. However, because the minimum is at x=0, we actually need to use a negative cosine function to represent the graph correctly. This means that C=0 for a negative cosine function.
Write Equation: Write the equation of the function using the values of A, B, C, and D. f(x)=A⋅cos(Bx+C)+D f(x)=−1⋅cos(101x+0)+5 f(x)=−cos(101x)+5
