Find the equation of a cosine curve that is obtained by shif
Find the equation of a cosine curve that is obtained by shifting the graph of y=cos(x)
- to the left 6 units and
- upward 3 units and
- vertically compressed by a factor of 8 and
- vertically flipped
Solution
y=cos(x)
-shifting to the left 6 units
=>y=cos(x+6)
- upward 3 units
=>y=3+cos(x+6)
- vertically compressed by a factor of 8
=>y=(1/8)(3+cos(x+6))
- vertically flipped
=>y= -(1/8)(3+cos(x+6))
