Chris wanted to transform the graph of the parent function Y= cot (x) by horizontally compressing it so that it has a period of

2/π units, horizontally Terslating it π/4 units to the right, and vertically translating it 1 unit up. To do so, he graphed the function y= cot (2x-π/4)+1 as shown. What did he do wrong?​

Answer:

The answer is C: He graphed the function y=cot(2x-pi/4)+1 correctly but it was not the right function to graph. He should have graphed y=cot(2x-pi/2)+1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why it is C is because we want a period of pi/2, which would mean that b must be equal to 2 (if you use the period equation for tan and cot, pi/b, in order for pi/b to be equal to pi/2, b must be 2). The form for a trigonometric function is: y = acotb(x-h)+k. And if you notice, the equation he uses has the b already distributed inside the parenthesis, which means that both x and h were already multiplied. If we divide 2x and pi/4 by two, we get x, but h becomes pi/8, which is not equal to pi/4 as required by the problem. The correct equation would be: y = cot(2x-pi/2)+1 because when you divide out the two from inside the parenthesis, you get: y = cot2(x-pi/4)+1, which is the equation that he should've graphed.

I hope this helped you out!

If you have any further questions don't be afraid to ask.

Answer:

He didn't calculate the b-value correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parent function is:

y =  \cot(x)

The transformation is of the form:

y =a  \cot(bx + c)  + d

The period is given by

\frac{\pi}{b}

If we want the new function to have a period of

\frac{2}{\pi}

Then we solve the following equation for b.

\frac{\pi}{b}  =  \frac{2}{\pi}

b =  \frac{ {\pi}^{2} }{2}

-  \frac{c}{b}

will translate the graph horizontally to the right by

\frac{c}{b}

units.

+d shifts the graph up by d units.

The new function then becomes:

y =  \cot(  \frac{ {\pi}^{2} }{2}  (x  -  \frac{\pi}{4} ) )+1

Which inequality describes this graph?
Alborosie

Answer:

x≠5

Step-by-step explanation:

An open circle means "less than" or "greater than", this means that anything is greater than or less than where the circle is placed. So, when an open circle is placed on a number line without any arrow, this means that that number is not equal to x.
