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.
Determine Amplitude: Determine the amplitude of the function.The amplitude is half the distance between the maximum and minimum values.Amplitude = (5−(−5))/2=10/2=5
Find Vertical Shift: Find the vertical shift, D, of the function.The vertical shift is the average of the maximum and minimum values.D=(5+(−5))/2=0/2=0
Calculate Period: Calculate the period of the function.The period is the distance between two consecutive maxima or minina. Since we have a maximum at x=0 and the next minimum at x=2π, the period is 2π.Period = 2π
Find Value of B: Find the value of B in the function f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+D. Since the period is 2π, we use the formula Period = (2π)/B to find B. 2π=(2π)/BB=1
Determine Phase Shift: Determine the phase shift, C, of the function.Since the maximum is at x=0, there is no horizontal shift, so C=0.
Write Sinusoidal Function: Write the equation of the sinusoidal function using the values found for A, B, C, and D.A=5, B=1, C=0, D=0f(x)=5cos(x)+0f(x)=5cos(x)
