Q. What is the period of the function g(x)=−sin(−8x−3)+5?Give an exact value.units
Identify Function and Period: Identify the basic trigonometric function and its period.The basic trigonometric function in g(x) is the sine function, sin(x), which has a period of 2π. The period of sin(Bx) is ∣B∣2π, where B is the coefficient of x.
Determine Coefficient of x: Determine the coefficient of x in the argument of the sine function.In the function g(x)=−sin(−8x−3), the coefficient of x is −8. We are interested in the absolute value of this coefficient to find the period.
Calculate Period of g(x): Calculate the period of g(x). The period of g(x) is 2π divided by the absolute value of the coefficient of x, which is 8. So, the period P is given by P=∣8∣2π=82π.
Simplify Period Expression: Simplify the expression for the period.Simplifying 82π gives us 4π. Therefore, the period of the function g(x) is 4π.
