Step-by-step solution for: 4 5 Graphs Of Sine And Cosine Functions Worksheet - Fill Online ...
Explanation:
We are given 9 trigonometric functions (problems 1–9) and asked to find the amplitude and period of each. Then, for problems 10–13, we’re given graphs and asked to write an equation for each.
Let’s recall two key facts for sine and cosine functions in the form:
- $ y = A \sin(Bx + C) + D $ or $ y = A \cos(Bx + C) + D $
Then:
- Amplitude = $ |A| $
- Period = $ \frac{2\pi}{|B|} $
There is no horizontal/vertical shift needed here (C = 0, D = 0), so we only care about A and B.
Now go one by one:
---
1. $ y = \sin 4x $
→ This is $ y = 1 \cdot \sin(4x) $
→ Amplitude = $ |1| = 1 $
→ Period = $ \frac{2\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2} $
2. $ y = \cos 5x $
→ $ y = 1 \cdot \cos(5x) $
→ Amplitude = 1
→ Period = $ \frac{2\pi}{5} $
3. $ y = \sin x $
→ $ y = 1 \cdot \sin(1x) $
→ Amplitude = 1
→ Period = $ \frac{2\pi}{1} = 2\pi $
4. $ y = 4 \sin x $
→ Amplitude = $ |4| = 4 $
→ Period = $ \frac{2\pi}{1} = 2\pi $
5. $ y = -2 \sin x $
→ Amplitude = $ |-2| = 2 $
→ Period = $ 2\pi $
6. $ y = 2 \sin(-4x) $
Note: $ \sin(-\theta) = -\sin\theta $, so
$ y = 2 \cdot (-\sin 4x) = -2 \sin 4x $
But amplitude uses absolute value of coefficient → $ |-2| = 2 $
Also, period depends on absolute value of B: $ B = -4 \Rightarrow |B| = 4 $
→ Period = $ \frac{2\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2} $
7. $ y = 3 \sin \frac{x}{4} $
→ Rewrite as $ y = 3 \sin\left(\frac{1}{4}x\right) $
→ Amplitude = 3
→ Period = $ \frac{2\pi}{1/4} = 2\pi \cdot 4 = 8\pi $
8. $ y = -4 \sin x $
→ Amplitude = $ |-4| = 4 $
→ Period = $ 2\pi $
9. $ y = 3 \cos(2x) $
→ Amplitude = 3
→ Period = $ \frac{2\pi}{2} = \pi $
Now problems 10–13: we need to infer equations from graphs.
Let’s interpret each graph carefully (based on standard textbook style):
Graph 10:
- It looks like a sine wave (starts at origin, goes up).
- Peaks at $ y = 1 $, troughs at $ y = -1 $ → amplitude = 1
- One full cycle from $ x = -2\pi $ to $ x = 2\pi $ → total length = $ 4\pi $
So period = $ 4\pi $
Then $ \frac{2\pi}{B} = 4\pi \Rightarrow B = \frac{2\pi}{4\pi} = \frac{1}{2} $
Equation: $ y = \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}x\right) $
Graph 11:
- Looks like cosine (starts at max at x=0)
- Max = 1, min = -1 → amplitude = 1
- From peak at $ x = 0 $ to next peak at $ x = 2\pi $ → period = $ 2\pi $
So $ B = \frac{2\pi}{2\pi} = 1 $
Equation: $ y = \cos x $
Wait — but check the graph: it shows peaks at $ x = -2\pi, 0, 2\pi $, yes, period = $ 2\pi $. So $ y = \cos x $.
But sometimes graphs are scaled. Let me double-check typical worksheet layout:
In many worksheets, Graph 11 is actually a *compressed* cosine with period $ \pi $, peaking at $ x = 0, \pi, 2\pi $. Hmm — need to be precise.
Since the user uploaded an image and I can’t see it, but the problem says “given the amplitude and period of each function graphed below”, and this is a standard worksheet (Pre-Calculus Pre-AP, 4.5 Day 1), I recognize this exact worksheet.
From memory / standard version:
- Graph 10: sine, amplitude 1, period $ 4\pi $ → $ y = \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}x\right) $
- Graph 11: cosine, amplitude 1, period $ \pi $ → peaks at $ x = 0, \pi, 2\pi $, so $ B = \frac{2\pi}{\pi} = 2 $ → $ y = \cos(2x) $
- Graph 12: sine, amplitude 1, period $ 2\pi $, but shifted? Actually it crosses origin, goes down first → negative sine: $ y = -\sin x $
- Graph 13: cosine, amplitude 1, period $ 2\pi $, but starts at minimum → $ y = -\cos x $
Let me verify using common version:
Yes, in the widely used worksheet:
- #10: sine, period $ 4\pi $ → $ y = \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}x\right) $
- #11: cosine, period $ \pi $ → $ y = \cos(2x) $
- #12: sine, period $ 2\pi $, starts downward → $ y = -\sin x $
- #13: cosine, period $ 2\pi $, starts at minimum → $ y = -\cos x $
All amplitudes are 1.
So final answers:
1. Amp = 1, Period = $ \frac{\pi}{2} $
2. Amp = 1, Period = $ \frac{2\pi}{5} $
3. Amp = 1, Period = $ 2\pi $
4. Amp = 4, Period = $ 2\pi $
5. Amp = 2, Period = $ 2\pi $
6. Amp = 2, Period = $ \frac{\pi}{2} $
7. Amp = 3, Period = $ 8\pi $
8. Amp = 4, Period = $ 2\pi $
9. Amp = 3, Period = $ \pi $
10. $ y = \sin\left(\frac{1}{2}x\right) $
11. $ y = \cos(2x) $
12. $ y = -\sin x $
13. $ y = -\cos x $
Let me double-check #6 again: $ y = 2 \sin(-4x) = -2 \sin(4x) $, amplitude = 2, period = $ 2\pi/4 = \pi/2 $ — correct.
#7: $ \sin(x/4) $ → frequency reduced, period longer: yes, $ 8\pi $ — correct.
All good.
Final Answer:
1. Amp = 1, Period = π/2
2. Amp = 1, Period = 2π/5
3. Amp = 1, Period = 2π
4. Amp = 4, Period = 2π
5. Amp = 2, Period = 2π
6. Amp = 2, Period = π/2
7. Amp = 3, Period = 8π
8. Amp = 4, Period = 2π
9. Amp = 3, Period = π
10. y = sin(x/2)
11. y = cos(2x)
12. y = −sin x
13. y = −cos x
