Math Problem Statement
Find the coordinates of points a, b, c, d, e, and f on the following graph, stating whether the graph represents a sine or cosine function.
Solution
The graph shown is of a trigonometric function that resembles a cosine wave because it reaches a peak at and has a symmetrical wave pattern around this point. The cosine function starts at its maximum value (1) when the angle is .
Now, let's determine the coordinates of each labeled point , , , , , and .
