Algebra.Com's Answer #812151 by greenestamps(13206) You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "(1) Sine function \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "d is the midline. From the graph, d=3 \n" ); document.write( "a is the amplitude -- positive difference between the midline and the maximum or minimum. From the graph, a=3 \n" ); document.write( "b determines the period; the period is 360/b. On the graph, one period, as measured between consecutive maxima, is 60 degrees. 360/b=60, so b=6. \n" ); document.write( "c is the phase shift. For a sine graph, at 0 the function is at the midline and increasing. The graph shows this occurring at x=30 degrees, so the phase shift c is 30. \n" ); document.write( "We have a=3; b=6; c=30; d=3. The function is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "A graph (with the angle in radians).... \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "(2) Cosine function \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Compared to the sine function, for the cosine function parameters a (amplitude), b (period), and d (midline) will be the same as for the sine function; the only parameter that is different is c (phase shift). \n" ); document.write( "For a cosine function, at 0 the function is at a maximum. The graph shows the first maximum for a positive angle occurring at 45 degrees. So for the cosine function the phase shift c is 45 degrees. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "A graph (with the angle in radians).... \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The graphs of these sine and cosine functions are identical, and they are the same as the given graph. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
