### Question: Amplitude of a Trigonometric Function

The problem presented involves determining the amplitude of the function \( f(\theta) = -0.9 \sin(\theta) \).

#### Question Statement:
The amplitude of \( f(\theta) = -0.9 \sin(\theta) \) is:

- ○ 0.9
- ○ -1
- ○ -0.9
- ○ \( 2\pi \)

#### Explanation:

The amplitude of a sinusoidal function \( y = A \sin(Bx) \) or \( y = A \cos(Bx) \) is given by the absolute value of the coefficient \( A \).

For the function \( f(\theta) = -0.9 \sin(\theta) \):
- The coefficient \( A \) is \(-0.9\).

Thus, the amplitude is:
\[ |A| = |-0.9| = 0.9 \]

#### Answer:
- ○ **0.9**
- ○ -1
- ○ -0.9
- ○ \( 2\pi \)

The correct option is **0.9**.
