Full solution

Q. What is the amplitude of y=3cos(πx+2)6? y=-3 \cos (\pi x+2)-6 ? \newline \square units
  1. Identify coefficient: Identify the coefficient in front of the cosine function, which represents the amplitude. The coefficient is 3-3.
  2. Calculate amplitude: The amplitude is the absolute value of the coefficient, because amplitude is always positive.\newlineSo, the amplitude is 3=3|-3| = 3.
  3. Verify correctness: Check if the calculation is correct and if it makes sense in the context of the problem.\newlineThe amplitude of a cosine function is indeed the absolute value of its coefficient, and 33 is the correct absolute value of 3-3.
