Use the graph below to answer the question that follows:

trig graph with points at 0, negative 4 and pi over 2, 0 and pi, 4 and 3 pi over 2, 0 and 2 pi, negative 4 and 5 pi over 2, 0 and 3 pi, 4

What trigonometric function represents the graph?

f(x) = 4 sin(x − pi over 2)
f(x) = 4 cos(x − pi over 2)
f(x) = 4 sin(x − pi over 2) + 1
f(x) = 4 cos(x − pi over 2) + 1

Answer:

The trignometric function that best represents the graph is:

[tex]f(x)=4 \sin(x-\dfrac{\pi}{2})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the trignometric function passes through:

(0,-4) , (π/2,0) , (π,4) , (3π/2,0) , (2π,-4) and (5π/2,0) and (3π,4)

We will check these points in each of the given options and see what holds true.

2)

[tex]f(x)=4\cos (x-\dfrac{\pi}{2})[/tex]

When we put x=0 we obtain:

[tex]f(0)=4\cos (0-\dfrac{\pi}{2})\\\\f(0)=4\cos (-\dfrac{\pi}{2})\\\\f(0)=4\cos (\dfrac{\pi}{2})\\\\Since,\\\cos (-\theta)=\cos (\theta)\\\\Hence,\\f(0)=0\neq -4[/tex]

Hence, option 2 is incorrect.

3)

[tex]f(x)=4 \sin(x-\dfrac{\pi}{2})+1[/tex]

When we put x=0 we get:

[tex]f(0)=4 \sin (0-\dfrac{\pi}{2})+1\\\\f(0)=4 \sin (-\dfrac{\pi}{2})+1\\\\f(0)=-4\sin (\dfrac{\pi}{2})+1\\\\Since,\\\sin (-\theta)=\sin (\theta)\\Hence,\\f(0)=-4+1\\\\f(0)=-3\neq -4[/tex]

Hence, option 3 is incorrect.

4)

[tex]f(x)=4\cos (x-\dfrac{\pi}{2})+1[/tex]

When we put x=0 we obtain:

[tex]f(0)=4\cos (0-\dfrac{\pi}{2})+1\\\\f(0)=4\cos (-\dfrac{\pi}{2})+1\\\\f(0)=4\cos (\dfrac{\pi}{2})+1\\\\Since,\\\cos (-\theta)=\cos (\theta)\\\\Hence,\\f(0)=1\neq -4[/tex]

Hence, option 4 is incorrect.

1)

[tex]f(x)=4 \sin(x-\dfrac{\pi}{2})[/tex]

When we put each of the x-value we see that the y-value also holds.

Hence, option 1 is true.

Also we can see in the graph.

The correct choice that shows the trigonometric function is;

Option B: f(x) = -4 cos(x - π/2)

How to Interpret Trigonometric Graphs?

From the given points of the graph, i have drawn the graph as seen in the attached file.

The given graph points correspond to those of a vertically stretched cosine function that has been shifted π/2 to the right and reflected across the x-axis. Therefore, the correct choice that shows the trigonometric function is;

Option B: f(x) = -4 cos(x - π/2)
