Micah

has been following stock ratings. He is keeping his eye on Sam's Pork

Bellies, and the pattern can be modeled by a sine function. He has found

it to have a maximum of 3, minimum of −5, and period of 2π. Which of

the following sine functions could model Micah's stock rating?

Verified Answer :

Answer:

The required function is f(x)=4sinx-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard sine function is defined as

\(f(x)=a\sin(b(x+c))+d\)                    ....(1)

Where a is amplitude, period is \(\frac{2\pi }{b}\), c is phase shift and d is midline.

It is given that the maximum value is 3 and the minimum value is -5. Amplitude is half of difference between minimum and maximum.

\(a=\frac{3-(-5)}{2}=4\)

The value of a is 4.

The period is 2π.

\(\frac{2\pi}{b}=2\pi\)

\(b=1\)

Midline is average of maximum and minimum.

\(d=\frac{3-5}{2}=-1\)

Substitute a=4, b=1, c=0 and d=1 in equation (1).

\(f(x)=4\sin(x)-1\)

Therefore the required function is f(x)=4sinx-1.
