Chapter 13, Problem 48SGR

To determine

To find: Amplitude and period of each function.

Answer to Problem 48SGR

Amplitude $=undefined$

Period $=2\pi$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $y=3\csc \theta$

Concept:

If equation in the form

  $y=a\csc \left(bx\right)$

Then

Amplitude $=undefined$

Period $=\frac{2\pi }{\left|b\right|}$

Given

  $y=3\csc \theta$

On comparing with general equation

We get

  $\begin{array}{l}a=3\\ b=1\end{array}$

Graph of given equation is

  

X-axis is represented by $\theta$

Vertical asymptotes occur at the points where $3\sin \theta =0$ .

Therefore,

Amplitude $=undefined$

Period $=\frac{2\pi }{\left|b\right|}$

  $\Rightarrow$ Period $=\frac{2\pi }{\left|1\right|}$

  $\Rightarrow$ Period $=2\pi$

Therefore,

We got

Amplitude $=undefined$

Period $=2\pi$
