Find the formula for the graph of the function f(x)given in the graph above. f(x) =
Solution
mid line : x+a = 4 ; x- a = -2
x = 1; a =3
amlpitude = 3 ; mid line = 1
Let fiunction be : y = acos(bx -c) + k
= 3cos(bx-c) + 1
period = 1/2 ; b = 2pi/(1/2) = 4pi
So, y = 3cos(4pi*x - c) + 1
at x =0 y = 1 ; 1 = 3cos(4pi*0 -c) +1
cos(-c) = 0 ; c = pi/2
So, y = 3cos(4x - pi/2) +1
