Answer the following questions using what you've learned from this unit. Write your responses
in the space provided.
1. You (safely) bungee jump from a 200-feet tall bridge in your town. Your distance above
the water's surface depends on the time since you jumped. Sketch a reasonable graph. (3
points)
For questions 2 - 5, sketch the graph of each function, showing two complete cycles between
.Label the x-coordinates of any zeros or asymptotes. (3 points each)
2. y = cosx
3. y = tanx
4. y = sinx
5. y = cscx
For questions 6 - 8, sketch two complete cycles of the graph, then answer the questions about
the function:
a). What is the period? (2 points)
b). What is the amplitude? (2 points)
c). How is the graph related to its parent graph y = sinx or y = cosx? (2 points)
6.
Period = 2pi/2=pi , Amplitude= 5 , Compare to sin x , the amplitude is 5 times and the period
½ times
7.
Period = 2pi/(½)=4pi , amplitude = 3, compare to cos x, the amplitude is 3 times, and the
period is ½
8.
Period = 2pi/2pi= 1 Amplitude = 2 , the amplitude is 2 times, and the graph moves up 1 unit
9. Which pair of functions has identical graphs? (2 points)
(a) (b) (c)
A and B
10. Write the particular equation of this transformed cosine graph. (Hint: Try to find the best
point to center the sinusoidal axis.) (3 points)
y=-3cos(x)-2
11. Write the particular equation of this transformed sine graph. Assume that the horizontal
shift is 1 unit to the right. (Hint: Try to find the best point to center the sinusoidal axis.) (3
points)
y=4sin(pi/2(x-1))+2
12. Write the equation of the transformed graph of tangent with period 4 that has been shifted
vertically up 3 units. (3 points)
y=tan(pi/4 x)+3
13. Write the equation of the transformed graph of sine with period that has been shifted
vertically up 3 units and has an amplitude of . (3 points)
y=¾ sin(2x)+3
14. Write the equation of the transformed graph of sine with period that has been shifted
horizontally to the right 3 units, has an amplitude of , and has been flipped across the x-
axis. (3 points)
y=-¾ sin(2(x-3))
