Math Problem Statement

Write a sine function that has a midline of y, equals, 3y=3, an amplitude of 4, a period of 2, pi2π, and a horizontal shift of start fraction, 2, pi, divided by, 3, end fraction32π​ to the right.

Solution

To write a sine function that meets the given criteria, let's define each part:

  1. Midline: The midline is y=3y = 3, so the vertical shift D=3D = 3.
  2. Amplitude: The amplitude A=4A = 4.
  3. Period: The period P=2πP = 2\pi, so the coefficient BB is calculated as B=2πPB = \frac{2\pi}{P}.
  4. Horizontal Shift: The horizontal shift is 2π3\frac{2\pi}{3} to the right, so C=2π3C = \frac{2\pi}{3}.

The general form of a sine function is:

y=Asin(B(xC))+Dy = A \sin(B(x - C)) + D

Step 1: Find the value of BB

Since the period P=2πP = 2\pi,

B=2π2π=1B = \frac{2\pi}{2\pi} = 1

Step 2: Substitute the values into the sine function

y=4sin(1(x2π3))+3y = 4 \sin\left(1 \cdot \left(x - \frac{2\pi}{3}\right)\right) + 3

Simplified Sine Function

y=4sin(x2π3)+3y = 4 \sin\left(x - \frac{2\pi}{3}\right) + 3

This is the sine function that satisfies all the given conditions.
