What is the amplitude, period, and phase shift of f(x) = -3 cos (4x + pi) +6?

The given signal is
(x) = -3 cos(4x + π) + 6

The amplitude is |-3| = 3
If T is the period, then
(2π)/T = 4
4T = 2π
T = π/2
The period is π/2.
The phase shift is -π/4.
The vertical shift is 6.

A graph of the function is shown below.

Amplitude = 3.
Period = π/2.
Phase shift = -π/4

Volume = the base times the height. i’m not going your work for you, but this is all you need to know.

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

f(-2) = -3f(1) = 6 . . . estimated from f(x) = (x+2)^2-3, which matches points on the graph (-1,-2) and (0, 1)

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

g(-2) = 1g(1) = 31

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
