The given point on the midline of (π, -4), and the minimum point of (π/4, -5.5), give the exact expression for f(x) as; f(x) = 1.5•sin((2/3)•(x - π)) - 4.
The amplitude, a = The difference between the y-values at the minimum point and the midline
Therefore;
a = -4 - (-5.5) = 1.5
d = The difference between the y-values of the midline and the x-axis
Therefore;
d = -4 - 0 = -4
The given function is presented as follows;
f(x) = a•sin(b•x + c) + d
Which gives;
-4 = 1.5•sin(b•π + c) - 4
sin(b•π + c) = 0
(b•π + c) = 0
-c/b = π
c = -b•π
Therefore;
-5.5 = 1.5•sin(b•π/4 + c) - 4
-1.5 = 1.5•sin(b•π/4 + c)
-1 = sin(b•π/4 - b•π) = sin(-3•b•π/4)
-3•b•π/4 = arcsine (-1) = -π/2
-3•b•π/4 = -π/2
3•b/4 = 1/2
b = 2/3
c = -(2/3)•π
Therefore, f(x) = a•sin(b•x + c) + d, gives;
f(x) = 1.5•sin((2/3)•x - (2/3)•π) - 4
By simplification, the exact expression for f(x) is therefore;
