MHB Trig Graphing Questions: Given graph find the function

Click For 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!
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
