Consider the following points on the graphs of y=cosx and y=cosx2 with the added vertical dashed lines:


Find C and D

I tried finding the cosine of points a and b but not sure how I continue here

no but I would be interested how you came to that solution

I think there are a couple of different ways to take lthis question.

 

Looking at the graph I can see that  b=a+2pi

From a to b is a whole wavelength of  cos a   and a half a wavelength of cos (a/2)

This means that

1-d = c - - 1

1-d= c+1

c=-d

 

cosa=18cos(a2+a2)=18cos2(a2)sin2(a2)=18cos2(a2)(1cos2(a2))=182cos2(a2)1=182cos2(a2)=98cos2(a2)=916cos(a2)=±34discount the positive answerc=cos(a2)=34

 

d=34

huh. I never thought that you could prove c in terms of d
Thanks Melody!
