You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your first picture is shown below:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the interval goes from 0 to 4p/4 which is the same as from 0 to pi.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the period is therefore equal to pi.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the frequency is equal to 2pi / pi = 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "there is no phase shift because cosine = 1 at 0 radians which is the value shown on the graph.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the equation in the form of y = a * cos (k(x-b)) becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 6 * cos(2 * x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i graphed it to confirm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that graph is shown below:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can see the equation on the top left.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the graph matches your picture so it looks good.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your second picture is shown below:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the amplitude is 6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the interval goes from -3/4 to 1/4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the period is therefore equal to 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the frequency is equal to 2pi / 1 = 2pi.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the sine wave should be 0 when x = 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this sine wave appears to be shifted to the right by 1/4 of the period.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the phase shift is therefore equal to 1/4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the equation in the form of y = a * sin (k * (x-b)) becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 6 * sin(2pi * (x-1/4))\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the graph of that equation is shown below:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"\r
