Capitolo 5, Problema 4.39

Graph each function over a two-period interval. Give the period and amplitude. See Examples 2–5.
y = π sin πx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the standard form of the sine function: \( y = a \sin(bx + c) + d \). In this case, \( a = \pi \), \( b = \pi \), \( c = 0 \), and \( d = 0 \).
Determine the amplitude of the function. The amplitude is the absolute value of \( a \), which is \( |\pi| = \pi \).
Calculate the period of the function. The period is given by \( \frac{2\pi}{b} \). Substitute \( b = \pi \) to find the period: \( \frac{2\pi}{\pi} = 2 \).
Graph the function over a two-period interval. Since the period is 2, a two-period interval is from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 4 \).
Plot key points of the sine function within the interval, considering the amplitude and period. The key points occur at \( x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 \) with corresponding \( y \)-values calculated using \( y = \pi \sin(\pi x) \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Period of a Trigonometric Function

The period of a trigonometric function is the length of one complete cycle of the wave. For the sine function, the standard period is 2π. However, when the function is modified, such as in y = π sin(πx), the period can be calculated by dividing the standard period by the coefficient of x, which in this case is π. Thus, the period of this function is 2.

Amplitude of a Trigonometric Function

The amplitude of a trigonometric function refers to the maximum distance the function reaches from its midline. For the sine function, the amplitude is determined by the coefficient in front of the sine term. In the function y = π sin(πx), the amplitude is π, indicating that the graph will oscillate between π and -π.

Graphing Trigonometric Functions

Graphing trigonometric functions involves plotting the values of the function over a specified interval. For y = π sin(πx), one would plot points for x values within a two-period interval, which is from 0 to 4. The graph will exhibit a wave-like pattern, reflecting the calculated period and amplitude, allowing for visual interpretation of the function's behavior.
