The <em>sinusoidal</em> function that represents the graph is equal to y = 1.5 · cos (2π · t/8) - 3.
<h3>How to derive a sinusoidal function </h3>
In this question we must derive a <em>sinusoidal</em> function based on two given points. <em>Sinusoidal</em> functions are <em>periodic</em> functions that uses <em>trigonometric</em> functions and have the following form:
y = A · cos (2π · x/T) + B (1)
Where:
- A - Amplitude
- T - Period
- B - Vertical midpoint
The <em>horizontal</em> distance between the midline and the <em>maximum</em> point is equal to a quarter of the period. Hence,
T = 4 · (2 - 0)
T = 8
The <em>vertical</em> midpoint and amplitude of the <em>sinusoidal</em> function are now calculated:
Vertical midpoint
B = - 3
Amplitude
A = - 1.5 - (- 3)
A = 1.5
Then, the <em>sinusoidal</em> function that represents the graph is equal to y = 1.5 · cos (2π · t/8) - 3.
