8.1
#### Graph Description
The graph shows a sinusoidal wave (sine or cosine function) with distinct peaks and troughs.
#### Key Points:
- The graph passes through its midline at multiple points.
- The highest points (peaks) and lowest points (troughs) show the function's amplitude.
- The distance between these repeating patterns represents the period.
- The center line that the wave oscillates around represents the midline.
#### Determine the following information:
a. **Amplitude:**
\( \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \)
The amplitude is the maximum distance from the midline to the peak or trough. It indicates how far the function values deviate from the average value.
b. **Period:**
\( \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \)
The period is the horizontal length over which the function repeats itself. It shows how long it takes for the function to complete one full cycle.
c. **Equation of Midline: y = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \)
The midline is the horizontal line that the function oscillates around. Its equation is often in the form \( y = c \), where \( c \) is the average value of the peaks and troughs.
To fill out the above information perfectly, observe the graph's highest and lowest points, count the wavelength, and determine the function's center line.
This will enhance your understanding of trigonometric functions and how they behave.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4d6261b1-d641-4c15-8b49-7d4d38863372%2F6cacce38-f0e0-4d06-a3cd-7fda329f6c0f%2Fqaxnr0c_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
