A cosine function has a period of 4, a maximum value of 20, and a minimum value of 0. The function is a not a reflection of its parent function over the x-axis.

Which function could be the function described?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll need to find a way to share the graph or graphs associated with this problem.

The period is 4.  The relationship between period and b (the coefficient of the independent variable of the cosine function) is (period) =(2π.b).  Given that the period here is 4,

       2π                          2π

4 = ---------, and so b = ------- = π/2.

                                       4

So now our y  = a*cos (bx + c) becomes

                    π

y = 10*cos (------x + 0 + 10

                     2

The horizontal center line of this cosine curve is y = 10.  The maximum value of the curve is 20, which is 10 + 10, and the minimum value is 0, which is 10 - 10.

                           

The function that describes the given situation is [tex]\rm y = 10\;cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}x\right) + 10[/tex] and this can be determined by using the properties of the trigonometric function.

Given :

  • A cosine function has a period of 4, a maximum value of 20, and a minimum value of 0.
  • The function is not a reflection of its parent function over the x-axis.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the function could be the function described:

Step 1 - According to the given data, the cosine function has a period of 4.

Step 2 - Now, the independent variable of the cosine function is given by:

[tex]\rm 4b = 2\pi[/tex]

[tex]\rm b =\dfrac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

Step 3 - The maximum value of the cosine function is 1 and the minimum value of the cosine function is -1.

Step 4 - From the above steps, the function that described the given situation is given by:

[tex]\rm y = 10\;cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}x\right) + 10[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is C).
