Answer: D) 10 sin (πx) - 5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The range (maximum - minimum) is 5 - (-15) = 20
The amplitude (A) is range (20) ÷ 2 = 10
The vertical shift (D) is maximum (5) - amplitude (10) = -5
Of the given options, only A & D are candidates. Now we need to decide if it is a cos graph (A) or a sin graph (D). If we shift the graph up 5 units (to eliminate the vertical shift) , the graph would pass through the origin. Thus it is a sin graph and the answer must be option D.
