in chapter eight section two we learn about ampitiude, period, and graphing them coordinating plane.




amp(amptitude)is the distance from zero to the highest point in the vertical graph (aka y-axis).



period is how long it takes a function to repeat itself.





the forms for this problems are: y=AsinBx or y=AcosBx


[A]=amp


two (pie) divided B=period





to graph with a period changes




  1. divde by five points


  2. divide by B


  3. sketch the graph

example: y=-4cos 3x


amp is 4 period 2(pie) divided by B is equaled to 2(pie) divided over 3


then you have to divide 0, (pie) divide 2, (pie), three(pie) divided two and two(pie) by three and then sketch your graph.
