Take into account, that in general, a cosine function of amplitude A, period T and vertical translation b, can be written as follow:
In the given case, you have:
A = 4
T = 3π/4
b = -3
By replacing you obtain:
Hence, the answer is:
f(x) = 4cos(8/3 x) - 3
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope m of the functions give the measure of the rate of change.
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
g(x) = x - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = = 2.5
Calculate the slope of f(x) using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 3.5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 1) ← 2 points from the table
m = = 2.5
Hence
The slopes of g(x) and f(x) are both m = 2.5, thus
The functions increase at the same rate → C
