Question

Determine the amplitude or period as requested. Amplitude of y = 1/2 * cos 5x

Answer 1

Answer:

The amplitude is $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric function:

A trigonometric function has the following format:

$A\sin{bx}$ or $A\cos[bx}$

In which the amplitude is A and the period is $\frac{2\pi}{b}$

Amplitude of y = 1/2 * cos 5x

The multiplier is 1/2, so this is the amplitude.
