Transcribed Image Text:**Question 7**: Identify the correct graph of the function \( y = -3 \sin \left(\frac{1}{3}x\right) \).
**Graphs Description:**
**A)** The graph displays a sine wave that oscillates between 3 and -3 on the y-axis. It completes two full cycles between \(-2\pi\) and \(2\pi\) on the x-axis. The wave begins at the origin and first moves downward, indicating a reflection over the x-axis.
**B)** This graph shows a single cycle of a sine wave between \(-2\pi\) and \(2\pi\) on the x-axis. It peaks above the x-axis and valleys below.
**C)** The graph depicts a sine wave that has a smooth curve, starting at the origin and curving downward, but completing much less than a full cycle between \(-2\pi\) and \(2\pi\).
**D)** This graph shows a sine wave similar to option A. However, the wave completes two full cycles between \(-2\pi\) and \(2\pi) and starts by moving downward, indicating a similar reflection over the x-axis.
**Explanation:**
The function \( y = -3 \sin \left(\frac{1}{3}x\right) \) indicates an amplitude of 3 and a vertical reflection over the x-axis due to the negative sign. The period of the sine function is expanded to \(6\pi\) due to the \(\frac{1}{3}\) coefficient.
**Correct Graph:** The answer is option **D**, as it correctly reflects the amplitude, the vertical reflection, and the periodicity of the given sine function.
