Q. What is the amplitude of y=4cos(5x9)7 y=-4 \cos (5 x-9)-7 ?\newline \square units
  1. Amplitude Definition: The amplitude of a trigonometric function like y=Acos(BxC)+Dy = A\cos(Bx - C) + D is the absolute value of the coefficient AA. This is because the amplitude represents the maximum distance from the function's midline (which is y=Dy = D) to its peak or trough.
  2. Identifying Coefficient AA: In the given function y=4cos(5x9)7y = -4\cos(5x - 9) - 7, the coefficient AA is 4-4. To find the amplitude, we take the absolute value of 4-4, which is 44.
  3. Calculating Amplitude: The amplitude of the function is therefore 44 units.
