State the amplitude and period of the sinusoid, and (relative to the basic function) the phase shift and vertical translation.

y= 2/3 cos ([x-3]/4) +1

The basic form of the equation that you are interested in is:


y=A \cdot cos(\omega t + p) + v


Where A = amplitude, \omega = frequency, p = phase shift, and v = vertical dislacement. Can you take it fom there?

y= 2/3 cos ([x-3]/4) +1

We have a sinusoidal function whose general form is

y = Acos(wt + p) + v

The following formulas will be useful:


Amplitude = | a |

Period = 2pi / w

Phase shift = p / w

Vertical shift = d.

Can you take it from there?
