Question 1118551: What is the period of the sine function if the max value is -5, the minimum value is -29, and there are consecutive minimum values when and ? Answer by greenestamps(13216) (Show Source):
The way the problem is written, you need to be able to see the forest through the trees. (Sorry if you aren't familiar with that expression.)
If all you want to know is the period, then the maximum and minimum values are irrelevant. The period is simply the distance between the two given values of x where the function has consecutive minimum values:
