Characteristics and Transformations of Sinusoidal Functions Quiz

#1

Which of the following represents the amplitude of a sinusoidal function?

The coefficient of the sine or cosine function
Explanation

Amplitude is determined by the coefficient of sine or cosine.

#2

What does the term 'period' refer to in a sinusoidal function?

The length of one complete cycle of the function
Explanation

Period represents the duration of one complete cycle.

#3

What is the angular frequency of a sinusoidal function with a period of 2π?

1
Explanation

Angular frequency is 1 for a period of 2π.

#4

In a sinusoidal function of the form y = A sin(Bx + C), what does 'C' represent?

Phase shift
Explanation

'C' represents the phase shift of the function.

#5

What is the vertical shift of the sinusoidal function y = 3 cos(2x) + 4?

4
Explanation

The vertical shift is 4 units.

#6

In a sinusoidal function of the form y = A sin(Bx - C) + D, what role does 'D' play?

It represents the vertical shift of the function
Explanation

'D' indicates the vertical displacement of the function.

#7

For a sinusoidal function, what effect does increasing the value of 'B' have?

It compresses the graph horizontally
Explanation

Increasing 'B' leads to a horizontal compression of the graph.

#8

For a sinusoidal function, what happens if the amplitude 'A' is negative?

The graph is reflected across the x-axis
Explanation

A negative 'A' reflects the graph across the x-axis.

#9

What is the phase difference between two sinusoidal functions with the same amplitude, period, and frequency, but one being a sine function and the other a cosine function?

π/2
Explanation

The phase difference is π/2 between sine and cosine functions.

#10

What is the phase shift of the sinusoidal function y = 2 sin(3x - π/2)?

π/2 units to the left
Explanation

The phase shift is π/2 units to the left.

#11

What is the phase shift of the sinusoidal function y = 2 cos(3x - π/4)?

π/4 units to the right
Explanation

The phase shift is π/4 units to the right.

#12

In a sinusoidal function of the form y = A sin(Bx - C) + D, what is the range of the function if -1 ≤ sin(Bx - C) ≤ 1?

[D - A, D + A]
Explanation

The range is [D - A, D + A] when -1 ≤ sin(Bx - C) ≤ 1.

#13

If the period of a sinusoidal function is 2π and the phase shift is π/3, what is the equation of the function in the form y = A sin(Bx - C) + D?

y = sin(2x - π/3)
Explanation

The equation is y = sin(2x - π/3) given the period and phase shift.

#14

For a sinusoidal function, if the amplitude is 4 and the period is π, what is the equation of the function in the form y = A sin(Bx - C) + D?

y = 4 sin(2x)
Explanation

The equation is y = 4 sin(2x) given the amplitude and period.
