Answer:
is an even function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall when it means when a function is even or odd. An even function has the following property:
And an odd function has the following property:
So, let's test some values for cos(x).
Let's use π/3:
From the unit circle, was can see that this is 1/2 (refer to the x-coordinate).
Now, let's find -π/3. This is the same as 5π/3. Thus:
And again from the unit circle, we can see that this is 1/2.
Therefore, despite the negative, the function outputs the same value.
Cosine is an even function.
Notes:
Cosine is an even function and sine is an odd function. It's helpful to remember these as they can help you solve some trig problems!
Answer:
C:
Step-by-step explanation:
Amplitude is changed by multiplying the entire trig function by a number, by default the amplitude is 1, so multiplying by 6 is necessary; eliminate A and B
Horizontal shift is going through the x axis, so it must be subtracted from the x value. This is only seen in choice C of the remaining answers.
Calculating the period isn't necessary because we already found the right answer but in case you need it in the future; the period is by default 2pi, to get to pi/4, it had to be 8 times smaller, so multiplying x and translations on x by 8 will get you the correct period.
