Interactive practice questions
Consider the given graph of $y=\cos\left(x+180^\circ\right)$y=cos(x+180°).
What is the amplitude of the function?
How can the graph of $y=\cos x$y=cosx be transformed into the graph of $y=\cos\left(x+180^\circ\right)$y=cos(x+180°)?
By reflecting it about the $x$x-axis, and then translating it horizontally $180$180 units to the left.
By translating it horizontally $180$180 units to the right.
By translating it horizontally $180$180 units to the left.
By changing the period of the function.
By reflecting it about the $x$x-axis, and then translating it horizontally $180$180 units to the right.
Consider the function $f\left(x\right)=\sin x$f(x)=sinx and $g\left(x\right)=\sin\left(x-90^\circ\right)$g(x)=sin(x−90°).
Consider the function $f\left(x\right)=\cos x$f(x)=cosx and $g\left(x\right)=\cos\left(x-90^\circ\right)$g(x)=cos(x−90°).
The functions $f\left(x\right)$f(x) and $g\left(x\right)=f\left(x+k\right)$g(x)=f(x+k) have been graphed on the same set of axes in grey and black respectively.
