Explanation Definition used: The functions y = a sin b x or y = a cos b x each has an amplitude of | a | and a period of 2 π b . Result used: The relation between cosine function of − x and x is sin ( − x ) = − sin x . Procedure used: To obtain the graph of y = a sin x , note that all the y -values obtained for the graph of y = sin x are to be multiplied by the number a . In this case, the greatest value of the sine function is | a | . Also, the curve will have no value less than − | a | . Calculation: The given function is y = 3 sin ( − 0.5 x ) . By the above mentioned result, the given function can be expressed with a positive angle as, y = 3 sin ( − 0.5 x ) = − 3 sin ( 0.5 x ) ( ∵ sin ( − x ) = − sin x ) Compare the equations y = − 3 sin 0.5 x and y = a sin b x . Thus, a = − 3 and b = 0.5 . Since a = − 3 , the amplitude of the curve y = − 3 sin 0.5 x is | − 3 | = 3 . That is, the maximum value of y is 3 and the minimum value is –3. The period is obtained as follows: 2 π b = 2 π 0.5 ( ∵ b = 0.5 ) = 4 π It is known that an important quantity in sketching a sine or cosine curve is the values of the function for each one-fourth period. Thus, one-fourth of the period will be, 1 4 ( 4 π ) = π . That is, the key values will be at the multiples of π . Substitute x = 0 in the equation y = − 3 sin 0
