Q

sketch trig graphs process

A
  • question form y= asin(bx+c) or y= acos(bx+c)+d
  • amplitude=a with verticle shift from ±d
  • number of cycles=b and period 360÷b (if b was 4, graph would repeat 4 times)
  • if amplitude asked for, find middle between top and bottom
  • if period asked for, do 360÷b(4) which would =90

Q

solving trig equation process

A
  • 3sin2x= 1 0<x<360
  • sin2x= 1/3 0<2x<720
  • 2x= sin⁻¹ (1÷3)
  • 2x= 19.5, 160.5 (here, add 360 if within limits)
  • 2x= 379.5, 520.5
  • x= 9.75, 80.25, 189.75, 260.25 (divide all answers by whatever is infront of x)

Q

wave function process

A
  • expand with addition formula
  • equate co-efficients
  • calculate k
  • calculate a
  • write in original formula

    k(cosx-a)= k[cosxcosa+sinxsina]
    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎= kcoscoa+ksinxsina
    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎= 2cosx+3sinx

    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎kcosa= 2
    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ksina= 3
    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎k= √2²+3²
    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎k=√13

    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎tana= sina/cosa
    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎tana= 3/2
    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎a=tan⁻¹(1÷3)
    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎a= 56.3

    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎√13cos (x-56.3)

Q

solve equation with wave function

A

a) =√41sin (x+0.896)

b) hence, solve 4sinx+5cosx= 5.5
√41sin (x+0.896)= 5.5
sin (x+0.896)= 5.5/√41

x+0.896= sin⁻¹(5.5÷√41)
x+0.896= 1.033, 2.108
x= 0.137, 1.212

Q

max and min values

A

q: y= 3sin (x-π/3)

3sin (x-π/3)= 3
sin(x-π/3)= 1
x-π/3= 90
x= 5π/6
