24–34. Curve sketching Use the guidelines given in Section 4.4 to make a complete graph of the following functions on their domains or on the given interval. Use a graphing utility to check your work.


ƒ(x) = 4cos (π (x-1)) on [0, 2]

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the function: We have ƒ(x) = 4cos(π(x-1)). This is a cosine function with a vertical stretch factor of 4 and a horizontal shift of 1 unit to the right.
Determine the domain: The problem specifies the interval [0, 2]. This means we will focus on sketching the graph of the function within this interval.
Find the critical points: Calculate the derivative of ƒ(x) to find where the slope is zero or undefined. The derivative is ƒ'(x) = -4πsin(π(x-1)). Set ƒ'(x) = 0 to find critical points.
Analyze the behavior at critical points: Evaluate the second derivative, ƒ''(x) = -4π²cos(π(x-1)), to determine concavity at the critical points. This helps in understanding the shape of the graph around these points.
Sketch the graph: Use the information from the critical points, concavity, and the behavior at the endpoints of the interval [0, 2] to sketch the graph. Check the graph using a graphing utility to ensure accuracy.
