ANSWER
The correct choice is A.
EXPLANATION
The given cosine function is:
This function has an amplitude of 2.
Hence it must have range,
-2≤f(t)≤2
It has a period of
Hence the function must complete one cycle on the interval,
[0,½π],
[½π,π],
etc.
The negative sign shows a reflection in the y-axis but since the cosine function is even, the function retraces itself.
The correct choice is A
Using the features, a piece-wise function is defined, and the graph is sketched at the end of this answer.
A piece-wise function is a function that has <u>multiple definitions</u>, depending on the value of the input.
He starts at 0 feet, and reaches a maximum elevation of 800 feet in 30 minutes, with a steady(linear) increase thus, for the first 30 minutes, the definition is:
For the next 5 minutes, he stops to rest, at the maximum elevation of 800 feet, thus, the definition is:
For the final 20 minutes, he descends 800 meters, at a linear rate, thus:
Using these definitions, the graph is sketched at the end of this answer.
