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

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (5,6) and (-1,-6).
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The midpoint is (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(5+-1)/2 =4/2 =2

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(6+-6)/2 =0/2 =0

The midpoint is (2,0)

Calculate the equivalent decimals for the following fractions.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a. 0.25

b. 0.4

c. 0.66 repeating

d. 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 1/4 is equal to one quarter which is 0.25

b. 2/5 is equal to 4/10 which equals 0.40 or 0.4

c. 2/3 is 0.6666666 and goes on forever so we would call that a repeating decimal

d. 3/4 is equal to three quarters which would be 0.75

i hope this helps :)
