What is the period of the sinusoid given by y=-4sin( xFormula1" title=" \frac{2π}{3} " alt=" \frac{2π}{3} " align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"> x) ?

Answer 1

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations} \\ \quad \\ % function transformations for trigonometric functions \begin{array}{rllll} % left side templates f(x)=&{{ A}}sin({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}} \\\\ f(x)=&{{ A}}cos({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}\\\\ f(x)=&{{ A}}tan({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}} \end{array} \\\\ -------------------$

$\bf \bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks}\\ \left. \qquad \right. \textit{horizontally by amplitude } |{{ A}}|\\\\ \bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}\\ \left. \qquad \right. \textit{reflection over the x-axis} \\\\ \bullet \textit{ flips it sideways if }{{ B}}\textit{ is negative}\\ \left. \qquad \right. \textit{reflection over the y-axis}$

$\bf \bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\ \left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\ \left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}$

$\bf \bullet \textit{vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\ \left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\ \left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\ \bullet \textit{function period or frequency}\\ \left. \qquad \right. \frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}\ for\ cos(\theta),\ sin(\theta),\ sec(\theta),\ csc(\theta)\\\\ \left. \qquad \right. \frac{\pi }{{{ B}}}\ for\ tan(\theta),\ cot(\theta)$

with that template in mind, let's see

$\bf \begin{array}{llll} y=&-4sin(&\frac{2\pi }{3}x)\\ &A&B \end{array}\qquad period\implies \cfrac{2\pi }{B}\implies \cfrac{2\pi }{\frac{2\pi }{3}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2\pi }{1}}{\frac{2\pi }{3}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{2\pi }{1}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2\pi }\implies 3$
