Periodic processes, sine and cosine
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
For x = 0, 1, β¦, 8 a table gives y = 0, 4, β2, 0, 4, β2, 0, 4, β2. State the period, midline and amplitude.
Period 3, midline y = (4 + (β2))/2 = 1, amplitude (4 β (β2))/2 = 3.
2
If f(x + 5) = f(x) and f(3) = 7, find f(23).
7
3
Find the greatest and least values of y = 4 sin x β 1.
Greatest 3, least β5.
4
Write 225Β° in radians.
5Ο/4
5
Find the period of y = cos 4x and explain why it is not 2Ο.
Ο/2. The factor 4 compresses the graph four times; the values repeat after 2Ο/4 = Ο/2.
