SINUSOIDALLLLLL! (big bombastic word here) ; but it is not self-explanatory. the things under it is not as bombastic as it sounds. hehehehehe...
As usual, when you get a function f(x) = a sin/cos [k (x-d)] + c,
|a| = amplitude of the graph (refer to the previous 2 posts for a clear definition of an amplitude)
k = horizontal stretch / compression
d = horizontal shift
c = vertical shift
The only thing that's gonna be new here is the method to find the graph's period, given its equation. Using the formula
2π / k = Period
remember, k is the horizontal stretch / compression you can determine by the equation given. Hence, substitute k into the formula, and you will be able to find the period of your trigonometric graph.
Example,
Transform a sine function such that g(x) has amplitude 4, period π, phase shift π/6rad and 2 units up.
Using the formula given above,
the period of the function = 2π/k = π. Therefore, k is 2.
Hence, g(x) = 4 sin [2 (x + π/6)] + 2
I found this exercise quite beneficial especially if ur new to these. After mastering a few questions, you're set and ready to go! (of course, only for this subtopic...hehehe) EXERCISES!
