Question

For the function y=-2+5 sin
(x-2), what is the maximum value?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) the max value of the sine function is 1.

2) the max value of 5 times the sine function is 5.

3) If we offset (translate downward) the graph of 5 sin x by 2 units, the max value is then 5 - 2, or 3.
