Question

Graph g is a translation of the graph of y= sin x (dashed line).a) write down the equation of g b) write down the coordinates of the point p

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  $G(x)= \sin x + 2$

b) The coordinates of P are

$\displaystyle \left( \frac{3\pi}{2},1\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation

The dashed line shows the graph of the function

$y = \sin x$

This function has a maximum value of 1, a minimum value of -1, and a center value of 0.

a)

Graph G shows the same function but translated by 2 units up, thus the equation of G is:

$\boxed{G(x)= \sin x + 2}$

b) The coordinates of P correspond to the value of

$x = \frac{3\pi}{2}$

The value of G is

$\displaystyle G(\frac{3\pi}{2})= \sin \frac{3\pi}{2} + 2$

Since

$\sin \frac{3\pi}{2}=-1$

$\displaystyle G(\frac{3\pi}{2})= -1+ 2=1$

The coordinates of P are

$\displaystyle \left( \frac{3\pi}{2},1\right)$
