Q. Find an equation for a sinusoidal function that has period 2Ο€2\pi, amplitude 11, and contains the point (0,0)(0,0). 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: We know: Period = 2Ο€2\pi\newlineFind the value of B.\newlinePeriod: (2Ο€)/B(2\pi)/B\newline2Ο€=(2Ο€)/B2\pi = (2\pi)/B\newlineB=(2Ο€)/(2Ο€)B = (2\pi)/(2\pi)\newlineB=1B = 1
  2. Function with A=1A=1: Since the amplitude is 11, A=1A = 1. Now we have: f(x)=1sin⁑(1x+C)+Df(x) = 1\sin(1x + C) + D
  3. Find D: We need to find the values of CC and DD. Since the function contains the point (0,0)(0,0), we can plug in x=0x = 0 and f(x)=0f(x) = 0 to find DD.\newlinef(0)=1sin⁑(1β‹…0+C)+Df(0) = 1\sin(1\cdot 0 + C) + D\newline0=1sin⁑(C)+D0 = 1\sin(C) + D
  4. Choose C=0C=0: Since sin⁑(C)\sin(C) can range from βˆ’1-1 to 11, and we want the function to pass through (0,0)(0,0), the most straightforward choice is to make sin⁑(C)=0\sin(C) = 0. This happens when CC is an integer multiple of Ο€\pi. To keep the function simple, we choose C=0C = 0.

    0=1sin⁑(0)+D0 = 1\sin(0) + D
    sin⁑(C)\sin(C)00
    sin⁑(C)\sin(C)11
  5. Write in Amplitude-Phase Form: We found:\newlineA=1A = 1\newlineB=1B = 1\newlineC=0C = 0\newlineD=0D = 0\newlineWrite the equation in amplitude-phase form.\newlineSubstitute values of AA, BB, CC, and DD\newlinef(x)=1sin⁑(1x+0)+0f(x) = 1\sin(1x + 0) + 0\newline=sin⁑(x)= \sin(x)
