Q. The graph of a sinusoidal function has a maximum point at (0,7) and then intersects its midline at (3,3).Write the formula of the function, where x is entered in radians.f(x)=
Determine Amplitude: Determine the amplitude A of the sinusoidal function.The amplitude is the distance from the midline to the maximum point.Since the maximum point is at (0,7) and the midline is at y=3, the amplitude A is 7−3=4.
Determine Vertical Shift: Determine the vertical shift D. The vertical shift D is the y-coordinate of the midline. Since the midline is at y=3, D is 3.
Determine Period: Determine the period T of the sinusoidal function.Since the function intersects its midline at (3,3) after reaching its maximum, this point represents a quarter of the period.Therefore, the full period T is 3×4=12.
Determine Value of B: Determine the value of B in the function.The value of B is related to the period T by the formula B=T2π.Substitute T=12 into the formula to find B.B=122πB=6π
Determine Phase Shift: Determine the phase shift C. Since the maximum point is at (0,7), there is no horizontal shift, and thus C=0.
Write Sinusoidal Function: Write the equation of the sinusoidal function.Substitute the values of A, B, C, and D into the general form f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+D.f(x)=4cos(6πx+0)+3
