Answer 1

The trigonometric function that represents the curve seen in the picture is f(x) = 4.5 · sin (π · x / 2 - π) - 6.5.

How to derive a sinusoidal expression

In this problem we need to find a sinusoidal expression that models the curve seen in the picture. The most typical sinusoidal model is described below:

f(x) = a · sin (b · x + c) + d    (1)

Where:

• a - Amplitude
• b - Angular frequency
• c - Angular phase
• d - Vertical midpoint

Now we proceed to find the value of each variable:

Amplitude

a = - 2 - (-6.5)

a = 4.5

Angular frequency

b = 2π / T, where T is the period.

0.25 · T = 4 - 3

T = 4

b = 2π / 4

b = π / 2

Midpoint

d = - 6.5

Angular phase

- 2 = 4.5 · sin (π · 4/2 + c) - 6.5

4.5 = 4.5 · sin (π · 4/2 + c)

1 = sin (2π + c)

π = 2π + c

c = - π

The trigonometric function that represents the curve seen in the picture is f(x) = 4.5 · sin (π · x / 2 - π) - 6.5.
