Q. The graph of a sinusoidal function has a maximum point at (0,10) (0,10) and then intersects its midline at (π4,4) \left(\frac{\pi}{4}, 4\right) .\newlineWrite the formula of the function, where x x is entered in radians.
  1. Determine Amplitude: Determine the amplitude AA of the function.\newlineSince the maximum value is 1010 and it intersects the midline at 44, the amplitude is the distance from the midline to the maximum value.\newlineA=104=6A = 10 - 4 = 6
  2. Find Vertical Shift: Find the vertical shift DD of the function.\newlineThe midline value is 44, which is also the vertical shift.\newlineD=4D = 4
  3. Determine Period: Determine the period TT of the function.\newlineSince the function intersects the midline at π4\frac{\pi}{4}, and this is a quarter of the period away from the maximum, the full period is 44 times this value.\newlineT=4×(π4)=πT = 4 \times \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \pi
  4. Calculate Value of B: Calculate the value of BB in the function f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+Df(x) = A\cos(Bx + C) + D, using the period TT. The period TT is related to BB by the formula T=2πBT = \frac{2\pi}{B}. B=2πTB = \frac{2\pi}{T} B=2ππB = \frac{2\pi}{\pi} B=2B = 2
  5. Determine Phase Shift: Determine the phase shift CC of the function.\newlineSince the maximum point is at (0,10)(0,10), there is no horizontal shift, and thus C=0C = 0.
  6. Write Sinusoidal Function: Write the equation of the sinusoidal function using the values of AA, BB, CC, and DD.
    f(x)=Acos(Bx+C)+Df(x) = A\cos(Bx + C) + D
    f(x)=6cos(2x+0)+4f(x) = 6\cos(2x + 0) + 4
    f(x)=6cos(2x)+4f(x) = 6\cos(2x) + 4
