Explanation Definition used: The number | a | is called the amplitude of the curve y = a cos x or y = a sin x . This number represents the greatest y -value of the curve. Procedure used: To obtain the graph of y = a cos x , note that all the y -values obtained for the graph of y = cos x are to be multiplied by the number a . In this case, the greatest value of the cosine function is | a | . Also, the curve will have no value less than − | a | . Calculation: The given function is y = − 50 cos x . Compare the equations y = − 50 cos x and y = a cos x . Thus, the value of a is –50. Since a = − 50 , the amplitude of the curve y = − 50 cos x is | − 50 | = 50 . That is, the maximum value of y is 50 and the minimum value is y = − 50 . Substitute x = 0 in the equation y = − 50 cos x
