Q. Find an equation for a sinusoidal function that has period 2Ο€2\pi, amplitude 11, and contains the point (Ο€,βˆ’1)\left(\pi, -1\right). \newlineWrite your answer in the form f(x)=Acos⁑(Bx+C)+Df(x)=A\cos(Bx+C)+D, where AA, BB, CC, and DD are real numbers.\newline f(x)=f(x)=
  1. Amplitude Given: Amplitude AA is given as 11.\newlineA=1A = 1
  2. Calculate B: Period is 2Ο€2\pi, so B is found by dividing 2Ο€2\pi by the period.\newlineB=2Ο€2Ο€B = \frac{2\pi}{2\pi}\newlineB=1B = 1
  3. Find D: To find D, we use the point (Ο€,βˆ’1)(\pi, -1). Since the amplitude is 11, the midline is at D, and the function value at x=Ο€x=\pi should be at a minimum.D=βˆ’1D = -1
  4. Determine Phase Shift: Now we need to find CC, the phase shift. Since the function is at a minimum at x=Ο€x=\pi, and the cosine function has a minimum at Ο€\pi, we can assume there's no horizontal shift.C=0C = 0
  5. Write Equation: Write the equation using the values of AA, BB, CC, and DD.
    f(x)=Acos⁑(Bx+C)+Df(x) = A\cos(Bx + C) + D
    f(x)=1cos⁑(1x+0)βˆ’1f(x) = 1\cos(1x + 0) - 1
    f(x)=cos⁑(x)βˆ’1f(x) = \cos(x) - 1
