Given , if is doubled and remains constant, what happens to the period of ?
It becomes four times smaller.
It remains unchanged.
It is doubled.
It is halved.
How does adding phase shift C in transformed function change graph of original cosine function?
Alters amplitude cosine wave depending magnitude C.
Shifts graph vertically direction depending on sign D.
Causes reflection across either axis based positivity/negativity variable A.
Shifts graph horizontally direction depending on sign C.
A ferris wheel's height above ground can be modeled as a cosine function where riders start at the lowest point; what are credible parameters for this scenario if its highest point is at least twice its radius above ground?
A negative vertical stretch factor
A positive phase shift
A height offset greater than or equal to its radius
A negative amplitude value
Which equation represents a sinusoidal function with a period of and an axis of symmetry at ?
What transformation will result in no horizontal change but invert every peak into a trough on the sinusoidal function ?
Subtracting from to get
Multiplying by to get
Multiplying by to get
Adding to to get
Assuming that has a minimum value at what happens if we replace the variable by the fractional part where denotes the fractional part remaining after removing the integer component from the real number ?
Produces a fractal-like pattern repeating the original waveform within each interval for all integers
Leads to unpredictable disruptions regarding continuousness disruptively breaking down the classical wave nature
Changing into fractional parts provokes an alteration towards fundamental starting points, hence adjusting initial phases consistently throughout the entire domain
Alteration leads solely towards varying amplitudes maintaining exact periodicity state among consecutive cycles
Given a sinusoidal function used to model daylight hours throughout the year, represented by , what does 'C' primarily represent?
The number of hours in a day with no sunlight
The average daylight hours over one period
The amplitude or variation in daylight hours
The period or frequency of daylight hour changes through seasons
