Q. The graph of a sinusoidal function intersects its midline at (0,1) (0,1) and then has a maximum point at (7π4,5) \left(\frac{7 \pi}{4}, 5\right) .\newlineWrite the formula of the function, where x x is entered in radians.\newlinef(x)= f(x)=\square
  1. Determine Amplitude: Determine the amplitude AA of the sinusoidal function.\newlineThe amplitude is the distance from the midline to the maximum point. Since the midline is at y=1y = 1 and the maximum point is at y=5y = 5, the amplitude AA is 51=45 - 1 = 4.
  2. Determine Vertical Shift: Determine the vertical shift DD. The midline of the function is also the vertical shift DD. Since the function intersects the midline at (0,1)(0,1), DD is 11.
  3. Determine Period: Determine the period of the sinusoidal function.\newlineThe period TT is the distance between two consecutive maximum points. Since we only have one maximum point, we can use the fact that the maximum point occurs at (7π/4)(7\pi/4) and the function intersects the midline at (0,1)(0,1). The next intersection with the midline after a maximum would be a quarter period away, so the period TT is 44 times the xx-coordinate of the maximum point, which is 4×(7π/4)=7π4 \times (7\pi/4) = 7\pi.
  4. Determine Value of B: Determine the value of B.\newlineThe value of B is related to the period by the formula B=2πTB = \frac{2\pi}{T}. Substituting the period T=7πT = 7\pi, we get B=2π7π=27B = \frac{2\pi}{7\pi} = \frac{2}{7}.
  5. Determine Phase Shift: Determine the phase shift CC. Since the function intersects its midline at (0,1)(0,1), there is no horizontal shift, so C=0C = 0.
  6. Write Sinusoidal Function: Write the equation of the sinusoidal function.\newlineWe have found:\newlineA=4A = 4\newlineB=27B = \frac{2}{7}\newlineC=0C = 0\newlineD=1D = 1\newlineSubstitute these values into the general form of the sinusoidal function f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+Df(x) = A \cos(Bx + C) + D.\newlinef(x)=4cos(27x+0)+1f(x) = 4 \cos\left(\frac{2}{7}x + 0\right) + 1\newlinef(x)=4cos(27x)+1f(x) = 4 \cos\left(\frac{2}{7}x\right) + 1
