As a study aid, we have included complete solutions for each Chapter Test problem at the back of this book.
Determine the amplitude, period, and displacement of the function y = − 3sin(4πx − π / 3) .
In Problems 2–5, sketch the graphs of the given functions.
y = 0.5cosπ2x
y = 2 + 3sinx
y = 3secx
y = 2sin(2x − π3)
A wave is traveling in a string. The displacement y (in in.) as a function of the time t (in s) from its equilibrium position is given by y = Acos(2π / T)t . T is the period (in s) of the motion. If A = 0.200 in . and T = 0.100 s , sketch two cycles of y vs t.
Sketch the graph of y = 2sinx + cos2x by addition of ordinates.
Use a calculator to display the Lissajous figure for which x = sinπt and y = 2cos2πt .
Sketch two cycles of the curve of a projection of the end of a radius on the y-axis. The radius is of length R and it is rotating counterclockwise about the origin at 2.00 rad/s. It starts at an angle of π / 6 with the positive x-axis.
Find the function of the form y = 2sinbx if its graph passes through (π / 3 , 2) and b is the smallest possible positive value. Then graph the function.
