    Amp Period
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the amplitude, period, phase shift (PS), and vertical shift (VS) of the function y=3cos(πx-2)+5. The amplitude is determined to be 3, the vertical shift is 5, and the period is calculated as 2 using the formula T=2π/ω. The phase shift is found to be 2/π. Participants confirm the correctness of the equations and calculations throughout the discussion, ensuring clarity on the parameters involved.

Find amplitude, period, PS, VS. graph 2 periods of
$y=3\cos(\pi x-2)+5$

ok I think these are the plug ins we use
$Y=A\cos\left[\omega\left(x-\dfrac{x \phi}{\omega} \right)\right]+B $
or
$A\cos\left(\omega x-\phi\right)+B$
A=amplitude B=VS or veritical shift
$T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega-\phi}$
$PS = 0$ assumed here

ok just want to see if I have these plug in eq right, different books use different symbols

Use [math]Y = A\cos\left(\omega x-\phi\right)+B[/math] or [math]Y=A\cos\left[\omega\left(x-\dfrac{\phi}{\omega} \right)\right]+B[/math]. (You had one too many x's in your first equation.)

$\displaystyle Y=A\cos\left[\omega\left(x-\dfrac{\phi}{\omega} \right)\right]+B$
then for $y=3\cos(\pi x-2)+5$
$A=3 \quad \omega=\pi \quad \phi=2 \quad B=5$
before the plug...:unsure:
where $T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} $ and $PS=\dfrac{\phi}{\omega}$

Yup. :)

before the plug...:unsure:
where $T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} $ and $PS=\dfrac{\phi}{\omega}$
so then
$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\pi}=2$ and $PS=\dfrac{2}{\pi}$
kinda ? on PS
So T is Period?

Yes. You have it right.

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
