MHB Trig Graphing Questions: Given graph find the function

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving trigonometric graphing questions, specifically identifying functions from given graphs. For question 26, the graph is recognized as a cosine function with an amplitude of 0.5. In question 27, the zeros of the sine function are correctly identified at 0, 180, and 360 degrees, translating to five zeros within the specified interval. Question 30 involves recognizing the graph as a reflection of the natural logarithm function, resulting in the equation y=-ln{x}. The participants confirm their findings and seek further clarification on certain points.

26, 27 and 30 and the ones I'm not sure on. If you click on the link, you will find question 30.
 
What I know is, Cos (x) is the X-axis and Sin (x) is the Y-axis. I also know the X stands for the degrees and that the value of sin or cos (x) is the value on the unit circle for that degree.
 
I think I figured out 26. Since I know it's a Cos graph by the way it looks and since I know the amplitude of the Cos (X) is .5, that's how I know A. is correct.

For 27, I know the Y axis = 0 at 0, 180 and 360 degrees. This translates to the radian values and I do the math and find my answer to be five. (More explanation would be nice on this).

For 30, I think I just need to look at those kinds of graphs so I know what they look like.
 
26. correct

27. period of $y=\sin(2x)$ is $\pi$ ... five zeros on the given interval is correct $\bigg\{0,\dfrac{\pi}{2}, \pi , \dfrac{3\pi}{2}, 2\pi \bigg\}$

30. The graph is $y=\ln{x}$ reflected over the x-axis, making it $y=-\ln{x}$

Thanks!
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
