Find a possible formula for the trigonometric function graph
Find a possible formula for the trigonometric function graphed below Use xlas the independent variable in your formula
Solution
The graph highest point is 4 and lowest point is -2. Which means 2a = 6
Means a = amplitude = 3
The graph looks like a sin function graph which is vertically upward.
The distance from point A to point B is 1.
hence 2pi/b = 1
b = 2pi
So, period is 2pi/b = 2pi/2pi = 1
Graph is vertically shifted upwards by 1 so, y = A sin(bx+c) + d , As there is no phase shift so, c= 0
Function is 3 sin (2pix) + 1
