Question

100 Points! Algebra question. Photo attached. Find the amplitude, if it exists, and period of the function. Then graph the function. Thank you!

Answer 1

amplitude does not exist. period = 2π (360°)

Explanation:

there is no amplitude for tan θ or cot θ, since there is no limit up or down (positive/negative infinity).

period for cot θ is π (180°)

period for cot 1/2 θ is 2π (360°)

Answer 2

hello

the answer to the question is:

y = a cot(bx – c) + d

a = 1, b = 1/2, c = 0

the midline is y = d, so y = 0

the vertical stretch is 1, so label the y-axis so the inflection point of the curve is 1 above the midline, and the other inflection point is 1 below the midline

the period is:

T = π/b ----> T = 2π

the phase shift is:

PS = c/b ----> PS = 0

and also, there's no amplitude for tangent and cotangent, there is only the vertical stretch that takes the place of an amplitude
