Question

Find the amplitude of the function. y-=.05 cos 6x

Answer 1

Answer:

option D

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the amplitude of function graph is

amplitude = maximum - minimum / 2

here maximum = 0.5

        minimum = -.05

Plug values in the formula

amplitude = 0.5 - (-0.5) / 2

                 = 1 / 2

                 = 0.5

Secondly,

The amplitude of y=asin(x) and y=acos(x) represents half the distance between the maximum and minimum values of the function.

Amplitude = |a|

so,

y = .5cos6x

here a = 0.5
