Q. Write a cosine function that has an amplitude of 2 , a midline of y=4 and a period of 1.Answer: f(x)=
Write Amplitude: Write the amplitude A of the given problem.The amplitude is the absolute value of A.A=2
Determine Midline: Determine the midline D. The midline is the vertical shift of the function, which corresponds to D. D=4
Find Value of B: Find the value of B.The value of B determines the period of the sinusoidal function. The period T is given by T=(2π)/B.Given period T=1, we solve for B:B=(2π)/TB=(2π)/1B=2π
Determine Phase Shift: Determine the phase shift C. Since no horizontal shift is mentioned, we can assume C=0.
Write Sinusoidal Function: Write the equation of the sinusoidal function.Substitute values of A, B, C, and D into f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+D.f(x)=2cos(2πx+0)+4f(x)=2cos(2πx)+4
