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
so for A it is 16 times as large because the area is 3*3 which is 9 but since it is a triangle the area is halved and is 4.5 and divide 72 by 4.5 which gives us 16
then for b I believe that the scale factor is 4
and for C it is asking for the bottom side of the scaled copy not of triangle A and 4*3=12 so the bottom is 12
ok now its complete =)
slope is -1

we have a point as (-4,3)
we can use slope intercept form of line

we can plug m=-1

now, we can plug point (-4,3)
x=-4 and y=3 and then we can find b


now, we can plug back
and we get
............Answer
Answer:
-30
Step-by-step explanation:
-4b^6 + -24b^6 = -30b^6
4,320 because if you take 720 and multiply it by 6 you get your answer
