5. A sound wave is modeled with the equation y = 1/4 cos 2pi/3 ∅

a.) Find the period. Explain your method.
b.) Find the amplitude. Explain your method.
c.) What is the equation of midline?

Respuesta :

QUESTION A

The sound wave is modeled by;

[tex]\frac{1}{4}\cos(\frac{2\pi}{3}\theta)[/tex]

This function is of the form;

[tex]y=A\cos(Bx)[/tex], where [tex]B=\frac{2\pi}{3}[/tex].

The period is given by;

[tex]T=\frac{2\pi}{B}[/tex]

We substitute the value of B to get;

[tex]B=\frac{2\pi}{\frac{2\pi}{3} }[/tex]

The period is 3.

QUESTION B

The amplitude of the given function is [tex]|A|[/tex]

Comparing the given function to [tex]y=A\cos(Bx)[/tex], [tex]A=\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

The amplitude is [tex]|\frac{1}{4}|=\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

QUESTION C.

The equation of the mid-line  is given by;

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}(maximum\:value+\:minimum\:value)[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{-1}{4})[/tex]

[tex]y=0[/tex]
