Q. Find an equation for a sinusoidal function that has period 3Ο€3\pi, amplitude 22, and contains the point (Ο€2,4)\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, 4\right). Write your answer in the form f(x)=Asin⁑(Bx+C)+Df(x)=A\sin(Bx+C)+D, where AA, BB, CC, and DD are real numbers.
  1. Find B using Period: Period = 3Ο€3\pi, so find B using Period = 2Ο€B\frac{2\pi}{B}. \newline2Ο€B=3Ο€\frac{2\pi}{B} = 3\pi\newlineB=2Ο€3Ο€B = \frac{2\pi}{3\pi}\newlineB=23B = \frac{2}{3}
  2. Determine Amplitude AA: Amplitude AA is given as 22.\newlineSo, A=2A = 2.
  3. General form substitution: Start with the general form f(x)=Asin⁑(Bx+C)+Df(x) = A\sin(Bx + C) + D. Substitute AA and BB into the equation. f(x)=2sin⁑(23x+C)+Df(x) = 2\sin\left(\frac{2}{3}x + C\right) + D
  4. Solve for CC and DD: Plug in the point (Ο€2,4)(\frac{\pi}{2}, 4) to solve for CC and DD.4=2sin⁑((23)(Ο€2)+C)+D4 = 2\sin\left(\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + C\right) + D
  5. Simplify sine function: Simplify the inside of the sine function. 4=2sin⁑(Ο€3+C)+D4 = 2\sin(\frac{\pi}{3} + C) + D
  6. Final equation with values: Since sin⁑(Ο€3)=32\sin(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, we have:4=2(32+C)+D4 = 2(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + C) + D
