You would want to sell the bag of candy in ounces, unless you have way too much candy.

You would want to weigh the candy in ounces and sell it in ounces, because most people will not buy pounds of candy, they will buy less. So, you would want to use a smaller and easier unit to go by.

Which of the following would best represent a cosine function with an amplitude of 3, a period of pi/2 , and a midline at y = –4

Grace [21]

To transform the function $f(x)= cos(x)$ to have the amplitude of 3, we need to multiply the constant 3 to the function f(x), so we have $y=3f(x)$

To transform the function $f(x)=cos(x)$ to have the midline $y=-4$ we need to subtract $f(x)$ by 4, so we have $y=f(x)-4$ ,

To transform the function $f(x)=cos(x)$ to have period of $\frac{ \pi }{2}$ , we need to divide the original period $2 \pi$ by 4, so we have $y=f(4x)$ . Note that it is the $4x$ gives the effect of dividing the points on x-axes by 4 and the period is read on x-axes

Hence, the full transformation is given $y=3f(4x)-4$ which is the last option
