Trig Graphing Questions: Given graph find the function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving trigonometric graphing problems, specifically identifying functions from given graphs. The user successfully identifies that question 26 represents a cosine graph with an amplitude of 0.5, confirming the correct answer. For question 27, the user determines the period of the function $y=\sin(2x)$ to be $\pi$, with five zeros at the specified intervals. In question 30, the graph is identified as $y=\ln{x}$ reflected over the x-axis, resulting in the function $y=-\ln{x}$.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of trigonometric functions, specifically sine and cosine.
  • Knowledge of graph transformations, including reflections.
  • Familiarity with the unit circle and its relation to trigonometric values.
  • Basic knowledge of logarithmic functions and their properties.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of trigonometric functions, focusing on amplitude and period.
  • Learn about graph transformations, including reflections and translations.
  • Explore the unit circle in detail to enhance understanding of sine and cosine values.
  • Investigate logarithmic functions and their graphical representations.
USEFUL FOR

Students studying trigonometry, educators teaching graphing techniques, and anyone looking to improve their understanding of trigonometric functions and their applications.

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 $y=-\ln{x}$
