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!
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
