Math Problem Statement
(a) Draw the graph of y = sin x, where x is in radians, for 0 ≤ x ≤ π.
Solution
To draw the graph of for , here's a brief outline of how the function behaves:
- Amplitude: The sine function oscillates between -1 and 1.
- Periodicity: The sine function has a period of , but since we are only concerned with the interval , we will see the first half of one period, going from 0 to .
- Key Points:
- (This is the peak.)
- (At this point, the function returns to 0.)
Graph Details:
- The graph starts at the origin (0,0).
- It rises to a maximum at where .
- Then, it decreases back to 0 at .
I'll generate the graph for you now. numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Define the x values (ranging from 0 to pi)
x = np.linspace(0, np.pi, 1000) y = np.sin(x)
Create the plot
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4)) plt.plot(x, y, label=r'$y = \sin(x)$', color='blue')
Mark key points
plt.scatter([0, np.pi/2, np.pi], [0, 1, 0], color='red') # Key points: (0,0), (pi/2, 1), (pi, 0) plt.text(0, 0, '(0, 0)', fontsize=12, verticalalignment='bottom', horizontalalignment='right') plt.text(np.pi/2, 1, r'$(\frac{\pi}{2}, 1)$', fontsize=12, verticalalignment='bottom', horizontalalignment='right') plt.text(np.pi, 0, '(\u03C0, 0)', fontsize=12, verticalalignment='top', horizontalalignment='left')
Set labels and title
plt.title(r'Graph of $y = \sin(x)$ for $0 \leq x \leq \pi$', fontsize=14) plt.xlabel(r'$x$', fontsize=12) plt.ylabel(r'$y$', fontsize=12)
Set grid and axis limits
plt.grid(True) plt.xlim(0, np.pi) plt.ylim(-1.2, 1.2)
Show the plot
plt.legend() plt.show()Here is the graph of for . As you can see:
- The graph starts at .
- It reaches its maximum at .
- It returns to .
