MHB -7.8.98 amplitude period PS VS graph. of cos eq

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the amplitude, period, phase shift (PS), and vertical shift (VS) for the function y = -3cos(xπ/2) + 2. The amplitude is identified as 3, the vertical shift as 2, and the period is calculated to be 4 using the formula T = 2π/(ω - φ), with ω determined to be π/2 and φ as 0. Participants also discuss graphing the function using TikZ, with some initial attempts at creating the graph. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the calculations and graphical representation of the cosine function based on the provided parameters.

Find amplitude, period, PS, VS. then graph.

$[DESMOS]{"version":7,"graph":{"viewport":{"xmin":-10,"ymin":-11.610693119544644,"xmax":10,"ymax":11.610693119544644}},"randomSeed":"996fd79a7f16736ddbff1ce2310a2f50","expressions":{"list":[{"type":"expression","id":"1","color":"#c74440","latex":"y=-3\\cos\\left(\\frac{k \\pi}{2}\\right)+2"}]}}[/DESMOS]$

ok I think these are the plug ins we use
$Y_{cos}=A\cos\left[\omega\left(x-\dfrac{x \phi}{\omega} \right)\right]+B
\implies A\cos\left(\omega x-\phi\right)+B
\implies T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}
\implies PS=\dfrac{\phi}{\omega}$

ok I wanted to do the graph in tikx but was just looking for an pre done one as an example to fit this eq
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
$y = A\cos[(\omega-\phi)x] + B$

$T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega-\phi}$

$PS = 0$

$y = A\cos[(\omega-\phi)x] + B$

$T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega-\phi}$

$PS = 0$
$y=-3\cos\left(\dfrac{x\pi}{2}\right)+2$
so from observation A=|-3|=3 and B=2
$T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega-\phi}$
ok I am ? what is $\omega -\phi$

W|A says period is 4

i started a tikz no sure how to transform it ...

$B = (\omega - \phi) = \dfrac{\pi}{2} \implies T = 4$

note $\phi = 0$ for $y=-3\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} \cdot x \right)+2$

so then $\omega=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$

yes, and $\phi = 0$
 
I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
