The equation of curve.
Answer to Problem 17WE
The equation of the curve is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculations:
Suppose general form of a function,
Here, a is the amplitude of the function.
And period is
Also,
The average of sum of maximum and minimum gives,
The average of difference of maximum and minimum value gives amplitude,
From the graph,
The value of curve at origin is 0.
The given curve is a sine curve as the value of sine 0 is 0.
The curve completes a cycle in interval of 2 . So, the period of the given cycle is 2 .
Therefore,
We know that,
The maximum value of the curve is 1 and the minimum value is -1.
Therefore,
So, the equation of the graph is
