query  problem 5.6.54  3 cos(2x+`pi) find characteristics and graph using transformations......!!!!!!!!...................................

 

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:  

 

 

The graph will be between -3 and 3 because 3 is the amplitude.

A cycles will start at pi/2 and end at 3pi/2. So some main points are (pi/2, 3), (3pi/4, 0), (pi, -3), (5pi/4, 0)

Given Solution: 

 STUDENT SOLUTION:

 

** Here are two solutions provided by students from previous years:

 

The amplitude is 3

The Period = T= (2`pi)/`omega = 2`pi/(2) = `pi

The phase shift = `phi/(`omega) = `pi/2

 

The graph of y = 3 cos (2x + `pi) will lie between -3 and 3 on the y axis. 

 

One cycle will begin at x = `phi/(`omega) = `pi/2 and will end at 2`pi/(`omega) + `phi/(`omega) = (2`pi)/2 + (`pi)/2 = (3`pi)/2. 

 

We then divide the interval of [`pi/2, 3`pi/2] into (4) subintervals each of length `pi divided by 4 = `pi/4:

 

[`pi/2, 3`pi/4], [3`pi/4, `pi], [`pi, 5`pi/4], [5`pi/4, 3`pi/2].

 

The five key points for the graph are:

(`pi/2, 3), (3`pi/4, 0), (`pi, -3), (5`pi/4, 0), and  (3`pi/2, 3).

 

ANOTHER STUDENT SOLUTION (consistent with preceding but with different details provided): 

 

the graph of this function has a maximum point of y=+3 and a minimum point of y=-3. at the origin the graph touches the point y=-3. and  whenever x= pi, 2pi and 3pi y=-3.  and at the points x= (-pi),-2pi,-3pi y= -3. when x=pi/2 and 3pi/2 and -pi/2 and -3pi/2 y= 3.

 

to solve for the amplitude and the period and the phase shift we use the equation y= Acos((omega)(x)-phi). so the amplitude of the equation is the absolute value of A which is 3. so A=3.

 

the period is 2pi/2 which is pi so there is a period at pi.

 

and the phase shift is phi/omega. which in this case is pi/2. so the phase shift is pi/2.

  ****   query  problem 5.6.60  2 cos(2`pi(x-4)) find characteristics and graph using transformations

 

****   explain how you use transformations to construct the graph.

 

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:  

 

The 2 infront will double all of the y-coordinates which causes the graph to get stretched vertically. The 2pi must be multiplied by the x which will cause the graph to be compressed horizontally. The x-4 will shift the graph to the right 4 units. 

 

confidence rating #$&*3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution: 

 ** Starting with y = cos(x), which has amplitude 1 and period 2 `pi and which peaks on the y axis (i.e., at x = 0) and at every interval of 2 pi on the x axis, we apply the appropriate transformations as follows:

 

We first multiply the function by 2, which doubles all the y coordinates, stretching the graph vertically by factor 2.  This doubles the amplitude from 1 to 2.

 

Next we multiply x by 2 `pi, which compresses the graph in the horizontal direction by factor 2 `pi.  So the period of the function is changed from 2 `pi to 2 `pi / (2 `pi) = 1.

 

We then replace x by x - 4, which shifts the graph 4 units to the right.

 

Our graph now has a peak at x = 4.  It oscillates between max value y = +2 and min value y = -2, peaking at  x = 4 and at regular intervals of 1 so that peaks occur at x = 4, 5, 6, . . .  as well as 3, 2, 1, . . .   . **

 

 

STUDENT SOLUTION WITH INSTRUCTOR COMMENT:  By using transformations to construct this graph, I would start with y = cos x graph.  Then vertically stretch this graph by factor of 2 for y = 2 cos x.  Then I would horizontally stretch this graph by a factor of 2`pi for y = 2 cos (2`pi x),

 

** this is a horizontal compression by factor 2--the graph is compressed in the x direction, from period 2 pi to period pi **

 

then I would horizontally shift this graph by a factor of 4 (to the right)

 

** you shift it 4 units to the right; a factor is something you multiply by **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

                                                  23:20:53

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:  

 

 The period = 2pi/2pi= 1 

 The phase shift= -4/2pi= -2/pi

 The graph will be between 2 and -2 vertically.

This is about all I have on this.

 

confidence rating #$&*1

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution: 

  STUDENT SOLUTION:  The amplitude is 2

The period is T = 2`pi/(`omega) = 2`pi/(2`pi) = 1.

The phase shift = `phi/(`omega) = -4 / (2`pi) = -2/`pi.

The graph will lie between 2 and -2 on the y-axis.  One cycle will begin at x = `phi/(`omega) = -4/2`pi = -2/`pi and will end at 2`pi/(`omega) + `phi/(`omega) = 2`pi/2`pi + (-4)/2`pi = 1 - 2/`pi.  Divide the interval of [-2/`pi, 1-2/`pi]  into four subintervals each of length 1 divided by 4 = 1/4 ------And here's where I get lost in the math.

 

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: ** If you just show the interval from -2 / `pi to -2 / `pi + 1 as containing the entire cycle you won't be far wrong.

 

However you can easily enough add increments of 1/4 to the starting point - 2 / `pi to get -2 / `pi + 1/4, -2 / pi + 1/2, -2 / `pi + 3/4 and -2/`pi + 1.

 

These numbers would have to be approximated.  -2/`pi for example is about -.64 or so.  **

 ****   query  problem 6.1.48  sec x / (1 + sec x) = (1-cos x) / sin^2 x

 

give the steps in your solution

......!!!!!!!!...................................

                                                  23:47:46

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:  

 sec(x)= 1/cos(x)

(1/cos(x))/ (1+1/cos(x))=

 (1-cos(x))/ sin^2(x)= after finding a common denominator and simplifying we get:

sin^2/cos(x)= (1/cos(x)) - cos(x)=

 sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1

confidence rating #$&*3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution: 

 ** There are many ways to rearrange this equation to prove the identity.  Here we will start by changing everything to sines and cosines using sec(x) = 1 / cos(x).  We get

 

[ 1 / cos(x) ] / ( 1 + 1 / cos(x) ] = (1 - cos(x) ) / sin^2(x). 

 

Multiplying both sides by the common denominator (1 + 1 / cos(x) ) * sin^2(x) we get

 

[ 1 / cos(x) ] * sin^2(x) = (1 - cos(x) ) ( 1 + 1 / cos(x) ).  Multiplying out the right-hand side and simplifying the left we have

 

sin^2(x) / cos(x) = 1 + (1 / cos(x)) - cos(x) - 1 or since 1 - 1 = 0 just

 

sin^2 / cos(x) = [ 1 / cos(x)] - cos(x). 

 

Multiplying both sides by the only remaining denominator cos(x) we have

 

sin^2(x) = 1 - cos^2(x), which we rearrange into the basic Pythagorean identity

 

sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1. **
