Find an equation for each graph below.
Use the general equation
.
Determine the value for each of the three parameters.First identify a convenient locator point.
In this case, we will use:The
value of the point represents the horizontal shift.
Thevalue of the point represents the vertical shift. The amplitude (a) is the distance from the midline
to the highest point.
In this caseand the highest point is , so .
Since the graph increases from the locator point in the same waydoes, a is positive.
See part (a).
Pay careful attention to the scale on the-axis when determining and .
If you choose
as your locator point, notice the first cycle of the graph is an inverted sine curve, so the a value will be negative. See part (a).
See parts (a) and (c).
