Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the given functions and match each with the corresponding graph.
We are working with five trigonometric functions and five graphs (A-E). The key features of trigonometric functions we’ll focus on are amplitude, frequency (period), vertical shifts, and reflections.
Analyzing the functions:
-
- Amplitude: 2
- Period: (since the coefficient of inside sine is 2)
- Vertical shift: +1
- Type: Sine function (starts from the middle of the wave at )
- Graph: We expect it to start at , oscillate between 3 and -1 with a period of .
-
- Amplitude: 2 (but reflected due to the negative sign)
- Period: (since is the coefficient of )
- Vertical shift: +1
- Type: Reflected sine function (inverted wave)
- Graph: This will oscillate between -1 and 3, with a period of 4 units.
-
- Amplitude: 3 (with a reflection)
- Period:
- Vertical shift: +2
- Type: Reflected cosine function (starting from the peak at , shifted by +2)
- Graph: This oscillates between -1 and 5.
-
- Amplitude: 3
- Period: (longer period)
- Vertical shift: +2
- Type: Cosine function
- Graph: Oscillates between -1 and 5, starting at the peak at .
-
- Amplitude: 3 (with reflection)
- Period:
- Vertical shift: -1
- Type: Reflected sine function
- Graph: Oscillates between -4 and 2, starting from the middle of the wave at .
Matching the graphs:
-
Graph A: This graph shows a sine wave, with a peak at , a trough at , and a vertical shift of +1. It corresponds to . Thus, A matches with 1.
-
Graph B: This shows a sine wave that oscillates between -1 and 3, with a period of 4. This corresponds to . Thus, B matches with 2.
-
Graph C: This graph oscillates between -1 and 5, with a period of 6 units and a reflection (inverted). This matches . Thus, C matches with 3.
-
Graph D: Oscillates between -1 and 5, with a vertical shift of +2, and is a cosine wave. This matches . Thus, D matches with 4.
-
Graph E: This graph oscillates between -4 and 2, with a reflection and a vertical shift of -1. This matches . Thus, E matches with 5.
Final answer:
- A
- B
- C
- D
- E
