The function intersects its midline at (-1.25,-3) and a maximum point at (0,4) Find a formula for f(x) Give an exact expression.

 y = 7cos(0.4π x) - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a cosine function is:    y = A cos(Bx - C) + D    where

Midline (D) = -3

(-1.25, -3) is given as a point on the midline.  We only need the y-value.

Horizontal stretch (B) = 0.4π

The max is located at (0,4) and also at (5, 4).  Thus the period (length of one wave) is 5 units.

         →     B = 0.4π

Phase Shift (C) = 0

The max is on the y-axis so there is no horizontal shift.

Amplitude (A) = 7

The distance from the midline to the max is: A = 4 - (-3) = 7

Equation

Input A = 7, B = 0.4π, C = 0, and D = -3 into the cosine equation.

            y = A cos(Bx - C) + D

            y = 7cos(0.4π x - 0) - 3

            y = 7cos(0.4π x) - 3

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
