Chapter 4: Problem 47

Determine the amplitude, period, and phase shift of each function. Then graph one period of the function. $$y=\frac{1}{2} \cos \left(3 x+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The amplitude is \(\frac{1}{2}\), the period is \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\), and the phase shift is \(-\frac{\pi}{6}\)

Step by step solution

01

Identify the amplitude

The amplitude of a trigonometric function is the coefficient in front of it. In the given function, the amplitude is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
02

Identify the period

The period of a cosine function is normally \(2 \pi\), but it can be varied depending on the coefficient of \(x\), given by \(\frac{2\pi}{|B|}\), where \(B\) is the coefficient of \(x\). In our function, the coefficient of \(x\) is 3. So, the period of this function is \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\).
03

Identify the phase shift

The phase shift of the function is given by \(-\frac{C}{B}\), where \(C\) is the constant inside the cosine, and \(B\) is the coefficient of \(x\). The given function has \(C = \frac{\pi}{2}\) and \(B = 3\), so the phase shift is \(-\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}}{3} = -\frac{\pi}{6}\), which means the function is shifted \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) units to the right.
04

Draw the graph

Plot the graph of the function using the properties. The graph starts at the phase shift, reaches a maximum or a minimum (depending on the positive or negative direction of the function) at quarter period, returns to normal at half period, reaches its minimal or maximal point at the three quarter period and then starts a new period at the end of the full period. Repeat this pattern for one full period. The amplitude and period identified previously will guide the exact positioning of these points.

Have you ever noticed that we use the vocabulary of angles in everyday speech? Here is an example: My opinion about art museums took a \(180^{\circ}\) turn after visiting the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Explain what this means. Then give another example of the vocabulary of angles in everyday use.

Use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use a viewing rectangle that shows the graph for at least two periods. $$y=\tan 4 x$$

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Using the equation \(y=A \sin B x,\) if I replace either \(A\) or \(B\) with its opposite, the graph of the resulting equation is a reflection of the graph of the original equation about the \(x\) -axis.

Describe a general procedure for obtaining the graph of \(y=A \sin (B x-C)\)

Graph one period of each function. $$y=\left|2 \cos \frac{x}{2}\right|$$
