Math Problem Statement
what is the period of this graph
What is the period of this graph?
Solution
The graph you've provided shows a periodic wave, and to determine its period, we need to find the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs along the x-axis.
Upon examining the graph:
- The peaks occur around , , , , and .
- The distance between consecutive peaks is approximately (about 6.28 units), as the wave repeats its pattern after this interval.
Thus, the period of this graph is approximately , or about 6.28 units.
