Homework Equations

y = sin k x

The Attempt at a Solution

Looking for help with part 12b in particular so i can try 13c

Im not quite sure how the coefficent of x (K) in the function y=sin kx relate to peroid and frequency. I know that if k is less then 1 the graph is stretched horizontally and if k > 1 its compressed horizontally but i can't come up with the equation.

Periodic functions follow the form

y=Acos(ωt)

OR

y=Asin(ωt)


ω is the angular frequency. (In your question, A=1)

i got it the formula i could not recall was that period = 2Pi / K (constant in my question)
thanks for your help sir!
