- For the function y= 3 sin (2x-%), identify the amplitude, period, horizontal shift and vertical translation. Sketch TWO CYCLES of the graph of the function. Label the x-axis so that all of the "important points" are clearly identified. Amplitude Period Horizontal Translation Vertical Translationarrow_forwardPlz answer only part. C.arrow_forwardBoyle's Law 2 states that for a certain container we have P · V = 345 where P represents gas in a the pressure of the gas (in mmHG) and V represents the volume of the gas (in liters). a. If the pressure of the gas is 225 mmHG, what is the volume of the gas? liters Preview b. Write a function f that determines the volume of the gas (in liters) in terms of the pressure of the gas in mmHG, P. f(P) Preview c. Complete the following statement. (Hint: if f(P) increases without bound, enter "oo". If f(P) decreases without bound, enter "-oo".) As P → 0*, f(P) → Previewarrow_forward
