A sinusoidal graph models ocean tides with high tide at noon; if high tide occurs again at midnight, what phase shift should be applied to align its sine model with standard position?
No phase shift required.
Phase shift right by radians.
Phase shift left by radians.
Phase shift right by radians.
Which transformation corresponds to shifting the graph of to obtain ?
Reflecting over the horizontal axis and shifting units to the left.
Reflecting over horizontal axis only with no shift.
Reflecting over vertical axis and shifting units to right.
Reflecting over both axes without any shifting.
At what value(s) does occur in one period of its graph?
At ,
At ,
At , ,
At xi- I nokisnnation
If a function has a form of , what is its period?
Three halves
Two pi

Given a rational function that models the cost per unit produced in a factory, what feature of the graph indicates a production level at which costs are no longer decreasing at the same rate?
An inflection point on the curve
A horizontal asymptote
A vertical asymptote
The x-intercepts of the graph
If the period of a cosine function is halved and its amplitude is tripled, what happens to the graph compared to the original cosine function?
The graph oscillates more frequently and reaches three times the original height
The graph stretches horizontally and vertically, becoming wider and taller
The graph compresses horizontally but maintains the same maximum and minimum values
The graph's frequency decreases, resulting in fewer oscillations over the same interval
What is the period change for the cosine function if given , compared to its parent function ?
There is no change in period from .
The period is three times that of .
The period is two-thirds of .
The period is one-third of .
