A sinusoidal function whose frequency is 3, maximum value is 12, minimum value is −6 has a y-intercept of 3.

Which function could be the function described?




f(x)=9sin(3x)+3

f(x)=9sin(6πx)+3

f(x)=9sin(6πx)−6

f(x)=9sin(x3)−3

Respuesta :

Answer:

  (b)  f(x)=9sin(6πx)+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer choices differ in the vertical offset and in the frequency.

For frequency f, the argument of the sine function needs to be 2πfx. Here, the frequency of 3 means the argument of the sine function is 2π·3x = 6πx.

The sine function is 0 when x=0, so the y-intercept is the vertical offset: 3.

The only reasonable choice is ...

  f(x) = 9·sin(6πx) +3

Additional comment

The function a·sin(bx) +c has amplitude 'a', frequency b/(2π), and vertical offset 'c'. The amplitude is half the difference between the maximum and the minimum: a=(12 -(-6))/2 = 9. For x=0, the y-intercept is the vertical offset (midline of the function), 'c'.
