Chapter 4: Problem 19

Graph two periods of the given cotangent function. $$y=\frac{1}{2} \cot 2 x$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The graph of the function \(y=\frac{1}{2} \cot 2x\) is obtained by drawing two periods of the function with a period of \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), amplitude of 1, no vertical shift and a vertical compression due to the \(\frac{1}{2}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the period of the cotangent function

The period of the cotangent function can be determined from the coefficient on \(x\). Since the coefficient on \(x\) is 2, the period of the function is equal to \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).
02

Identify the amplitude and vertical shift of the cotangent function

The amplitude of a cotangent function is always 1, and there is no vertical shift in this function.
03

Identify the phase shift of the cotangent function

In the function \(y=\frac{1}{2} \cot 2x\), there is no phase shift, so the graph of the function starts at the regular cotangent starting point.
04

Graph of the cotangent function

Using the period \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), begin by drawing two asymptotes at \(x=0\) and \(x=\frac{\pi}{2}\). This is one period of the function. Then draw the second period by extending the x-axis and drawing two more asymptotes at \(x=\pi\) and \(x=\frac{3\pi}{2}\). Now, knowing that the cotangent function starts at the top and drops down at the center to the bottom at the next asymptote, draw the curve from the asymptote at \(x=0\) to the center of the period, then drop it down to the next asymptote. Repeat this for the second period as well. Lastly since the cotangent function is multiplied by \(\frac{1}{2}\), it needs to be vertically compressed by that factor.

Use a vertical shift to graph one period of the function. $$y=\cos x-3$$

Use the keys on your calculator or graphing utility for converting an angle in degrees, minutes, and seconds \(\left(D^{\circ} M^{\prime} S^{\prime \prime}\right)\) into decimal form, and vice versa. Convert each angle to a decimal in degrees. Round your answer to two decimal places. $$30^{\circ} 15^{\prime} 10^{\prime \prime}$$

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I made an error because the angle I drew in standard position exceeded a straight angle.

Graph \(f, g,\) and \(h\) in the same rectangular coordinate system for \(0 \leq x \leq 2 \pi .\) Obtain the graph of h by adding or subtracting the corresponding \(y\) -coordinates on the graphs of \(f\) and \(g\) $$f(x)=\cos x, g(x)=\sin 2 x, h(x)=(f-g)(x)$$

Describe a relationship between the graphs of \(y=\sin x\) and \(y=\cos x\)
