.I literally just watched a video on how to do this, this is a learning process for me too smiley

I am assuming that you learned the trig vocabulary for this as you asking these problems

________________________

 

Lets first do a cosine graph cuz its easier

 

This is the base equation for a cosine graph:

 

\(y=A\cos{b}(x-h)+c\)

 

________________________________________

 

So first find the amplitude, which is the height of the waves of the graph. (using y-values)

 

\(\text{Amplitude}=|\frac{\text{Max}-\text{Min}}{2}|\)

 

\(|\frac{-5-(-4)}{2}|\)

 

\(|\frac{-1}{2}|\)

 

\(\text{Amplitude}=\frac{1}{2}\)


Now we have the "A" value

 

\(y=\frac{1}{2}\cos{b}(x-h)+c\)

_______________________________________

 

Ok now we have to find the period

We first find the positive difference of the x values to find the horizontal distance.

 

\(|-1-3.5|=4.5\)

 

Then we double what we got

 

\(9\)

 

Then we solve for the b-value

 

\(9=\frac{2\pi}{b}\rightarrow9b=2pi\rightarrow{b}=\frac{2pi}{9}\)

 

Now we have

\(y=\frac{1}{2}\cos{\frac{2pi}{9}}(x-h)+c\)

_________________________________________

Now we have to find the phase shift (h-value)

 

Since it has shifted -1,                          ( coordinate (-1, -5) tells us that. )

 

We now have:

\(y=\frac{1}{2}\cos{\frac{2pi}{9}}(x+1)+c\)

___________________________________________

Now we have to find the vertical shift (c-value)

Formula for that is 

 

\(c=\frac{\text{Maximum}}{2}\)

\(c=\frac{-5+(-4)}{2}\)

\(c=-4.5\)

____________________________________________

 

So the equation of the sinusoidal graph is

\(y=\frac{1}{2}\cos{\frac{2pi}{9}}(x+1)-4.5\)

 

 

This is the cosine graph.

 

This is the video I learned from, if you want to find the sine graph, follow the steps in the video.

This will be a little lengthy.....you also need to be very careful....one mistake dooms this!!!!

 

The idea is to end up with the form 

1  0   0      a

0  1   0      b

0   0  1      c            by the use of elementary row operations

 

 

 

So the original matrix form of the equations is

 

1    3   -3      - 27

2    1    1       -2

1   -1    3       17             multiply  the first row by - 2   add to the second row

 

1    3   - 3      -27

0   -5    7       52

1    -1   3       17              multiply the first row by -1  add this to the third row

 

1    3     -3     -27

0   -5     7       52

0    -4    6       44           multiply the  second row by  3/5    add this to the first row

 

1   0     6/5     21/5

0   -5     7        52

0   -4     6        44          multiply the second row by - 4/5      add this to the third row

 

 

1   0     6/5        21/5

0   -5     7         52

0    0     2/5      12/5        multiply the  first and third rows by 5......this makes the next step easier

 

5    0     6       21             

0    -5    7       52

0    0     2       12               divide the third row by   2

 

5    0    6       21

0    -5   7      52

0   0     1        6             multply the third row by -6  add this to  the  first row

 

5     0     0    -15

0     -5   7      52

0      0    1       6              multiply the third row  by -7    add to the second row

 

5    0    0      -15

0    -5   0       10

0     0    1        6              divide the first row by   5    and the second by  -5

 

1  0    0        -3

0   1   0        -2

0   0   1         6               This is the final matrix   in Reduced-Row Echelon Form

 

Reading across.....the solution  is  { x, y, z}  =  ( -3, - 2, 6}

 

 

cool cool cool
