Choose the function whose graph is given by: y AAAAA +2 O y A. y = cos(1 x) O B. y = cos( 3 ) O C. y = cos(2x) O D. y = cos(4x) class=

Answer :

Answer:

y = cos(4x)

Explanation:

Given a cosine function in the below form;

[tex]y=a\cos (bx)[/tex]

where;

Amplitude = |a|

Period = 2pi / |b|

Looking at the given graph, we can see that the amplitude(a) = 1, and the period is pi/2.

Let's go ahead and determine b as seen below;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Period}=\frac{2\pi}{|b|} \\ \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{2\pi}{|b|} \\ |b|=\frac{2\pi\times2}{\pi} \\ |b|=4 \\ b=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since a = 1 and b = 4, the function whose graph is given can be written as;

[tex]y=\cos (4x)[/tex]
