Cancel out the denominators.
(x+5)² + 18 = -30
(x+5)² = -30 - 18
(x+5)² = -48
The equation is impossible, we have a negative number.
There isn't a number that squared gives a negative number (the square is always positive).
√(x+5)² = +/- √-48
x+5 = +/- √-48
IMPOSSIBLE
You can write the result in imaginary numbers
x+5=+/- 4i√3
The given function is
The general form of the cosine function is
a is the amplitude
2pi/b is the period
c is the phase shift
d is the vertical shift
By comparing the two functions
a = 4
b = pi
c = 0
d = 1
Then its period is
The equation of the midline is
Since the maximum is at the greatest value of cos, which is 1, then
Since the minimum is at the smallest value of cos, which is -1, then
Then substitute them in the equation of the midline
The answers are:
Period = 2
Equation of the midline is y = 1
Maximum = 5
Minimum = -3
