a) y = 5 sin x b) y = 3 cos x c) y = 3 sin x + 4 y = sin(x) and y = cos(x) has range [-1,1] because their graphs oscillates over and over between 1 and -1. Their amplitude is 1 because they both go 1 unit above and below the x-axis. ---------------------------------- a) y = 5sin(x) and has range [-5,5] because the graph oscillates over and over between 5 and -5. Its amplitude is 5 because it goes 5 units above and below the x-axis. Range: [-5,5] ---------------------------------- b) y = 3cos(x) and has range [-3,3] because the graph oscillates over and over between 3 and -3. Its amplitude is 3 because it goes 3 units above and below the x-axis. Range: = [-3,3] -------------------------------- c) y = 3sin(x) + 4 If it were y = 3sin(x) it would have range [-3,3] like the preceding problem, but the + 4 on the end jacks the range up 4 units to [-3+4,3+4] or [1,7] 3 units above and below the horizontal line y = 4 Range = [1,7] Edwin
