i hav a lot of questions b/c i wasnt there for the lessons and need help with hw questions

muted anchor
#

Sin function stays between -1 to 1

fading marten
#

like i dont understand how to solve this

#

ik what u mean by sin f^ stays between -1 n 1

muted anchor
#

Ampltitude is 6 units means the peak will be of 6 units height

#

Period here means how long until 'matching points' repeat at the same level

#

For a basic sin(x) function, period is 2π

#

Means the same level,type of point will come back after 2π radians (360°)

#

Here you have 60°

Hence, sin(6x)

fading marten
#

so a normal period would end at 340 but with this one it ends at 60?

#

so a full period would be 60?

muted anchor
#

Normal is 360, yes

#

In your question, they're asking to make it 60°

fading marten
#

ooh

muted anchor
#

You can make it by multiplying 6

fading marten
#

so 60x6?

muted anchor
#

Yes

#

X = 60

#

Will make it 360

#

6x

fading marten
#

oooh

#

so then it would be sin(6x)?

#

sorry but why am i x it by 6?

fading marten
muted anchor
#

We have to make the inside of sin such that it becomes 360 when we multiply the period by something

#

Here period is 60

#

We have to multiply 6 to make it 360

#

Hence 6x

#

It is a coincidence that the amplitude is also 6.

It could've been 4 too but the inside would be 6x still

fading marten
#

so if we has a period of 30 we would have to x it by 12?

#

so it would be 12x?

muted anchor
#

You got it

#

Now the amplitude comes in

#

Normal sin function equation is like this:

y = A sin (w×x + phase) + C

#

A here is amplitude

#

w = 360°/Period

#

Phase means the starting angle from 0

#

C is a constant to give the graph an offset

#

General sin(x) graph

#

I ACCIDENTALLY TOLD YOU ABOUT THE PHASE

C is how much the graph will lift/sink in the Y-axis

fading marten
#

im sorry are you able to join vc and explain

#

i dont really understand the wording 2 much

muted anchor
fading marten
#

LMAOOO \

#

HAHHAA

muted anchor
#

😆

#

Check this.

This explains the role of C in the equation

fading marten
#

oooh

muted anchor
fading marten
#

so instead of the original that starts off at 0 it shifts up by 2

muted anchor
#

Yes

fading marten
#

and starts at 2?

#

omg thank u

muted anchor
#

Everything rises 2 units

fading marten
#

ahhh

fading marten
lofty widget
muted anchor
#

60°

#

6x

fading marten
#

y=a sin(6x+idk)+4?

muted anchor
#

Phase

muted anchor
#

6x we found out

#

The max is at (0,4) meaning the peak point is at that

fading marten
#

how would i find the phase?

muted anchor
#

Ok

muted anchor
#

What can you find using this info?

#

0,4 means the peak is at 4

Normal sin graph has peak at 1

#

You need to lift it by 3 units

#

Normal sin x curve has the peak at π/2 (90°) on x axis

#

Here it is given that the peak is at 0 on x axis

fading marten
#

sorry these terms ur using are a lil different then the terms my teacher uses

muted anchor
#

Which ones?

#

I'll write the answer here :

Y = 6 sin(6x - π/2) + 3

fading marten
#

we say stretch or compress

muted anchor
#

I guess?despair

fading marten
#

b/c we went up by 3?

muted anchor
#

If you mean going up by 3 as stretch then yes

fading marten
#

oooh

#

okok

fading marten
#

so what does the pie/2 mean?

muted anchor
#

See the 1st peak on right of origin

#

It is at π/2 on x axis

#

We need to shift it to 0

#

Hence - π/2

fading marten
#

oooooh

muted anchor
fading marten
#

okok im starting 2 understand thank you

#

so we are compressing it by -2?

#

so we could make the first peak on the origin?

muted anchor
#

Compress mean?

fading marten
#

like moving it ish

muted anchor
#

Yes, you can say that we held the peak point and moved it left side by π/2 units

fading marten
#

ahhhhh

#

so thats y we did -2

#

cuz we moved our peak to the origin which is 2 units back

muted anchor
#

Where did I do '-2'?

#

I did - π / 2

#

Or -90°

#

π means 180°

fading marten
#

ooooh

fading marten
muted anchor
#

Which country is it?

fading marten
#

canada

muted anchor
#

India here

fading marten
#

ooh v nice to meet u

muted anchor
#

You too

fading marten
#

didnt know they use such hard terms in india

muted anchor
#

Which ones?

π?

fading marten
#

we kinda made it more simple by kinda changing the words but keeping the same def

#

yeah pie

muted anchor
#

Oh

#

Ok

#

Then -2 terms

#

I guess you've understood 😂

#

I have to wash my thing now

fading marten
#

LMAOOO

#

yeah but one more question when ur done XD

muted anchor
#

Okok, I'll be back then 🫡

#

Ttyl

fading marten
#

okok take ur time

fading marten
#

and is that the correct way of writing it?

#

y=6sin(6x-180/2)+3?

muted anchor
#

Back

muted anchor
fading marten
#

hii

muted anchor
#

I'm bringing it left till origin (because it is given in question) by subtracting 90° on x axis

muted anchor
muted anchor

fading marten
muted anchor
#

Denote as if alias

#

I will call you elon instead of eloo

#

Kind of thing

fading marten
#

KMAOO

#

ok idm XD

#

wait so is it ok if i write y=6sin(6x-90)+3

muted anchor
#

Yes if it is applicable according to your teacher

I would write '90°' to avoid confusion

fading marten
#

yup idk how 2 do that on keyboard XD

#

but yeah will do

muted anchor
#

Oh

#

Ok

fading marten
#

are u able to help me with one more question?

muted anchor
#

Here, copy and paste it

#

°

fading marten
#

sorry on the right it says the

#

im not good with finding stuff through word problems XD

muted anchor
#

Draw a diagram

#

It says wave pool

Meaning the water is like a wave at surface

fading marten
#

like what would i draw

muted anchor
#

I mean just rough

muted anchor
#

Like a big width beaker

fading marten
#

mhm

#

wait r u able to vc?

muted anchor
#

I'm not the best at speaking hence I'm refraining from it

fading marten
#

oooh okok dw ab it

#

so then what els would i do?

#

after drawing the diagram?

muted anchor
#

Show me

fading marten
#

my cam is broken on my phone XD

muted anchor
#

Ok, I'll send

fading marten
#

okok thank you

muted anchor
#

Looks like this

fading marten
#

oooh okok

muted anchor
#

The difference between top and trough is 0.6

#

Hence the amplitude will be 0.3

fading marten
#

ooh ok

muted anchor
#

We need to find the coordinates now

Based on h-t graph

#

H on y axis

t on x axis

lofty widget
#

but isn't he on a trough before he travels 1.8 m from the bottom of the pool?

fading marten
#

LMAOOO IM SO CONFUSED despair

muted anchor
#

I think they mean he reached the trough

#

Which is at 1.8m height

#

Look at the bracket sentence

fading marten
#

idk what it means by trough/bottom of the wave

#

ooooh

muted anchor
#

Either way,

They take 5 seconds to reach bottom to top.

Hence, it would take 2.5 seconds to reach the x axis

fading marten
#

ok nvm i understanf

fading marten
#

so how would we determine the equation of sin f^

muted anchor
#

I'm figuring that out

fading marten
#

oh sorry take ur time

muted anchor
#

Sin goes from 1 to -1

#

Here it is going from 1.8 to 2.4

#

The person needs to go only 2 seconds to reach the bottom, from starting line

#

It should take 2.5 seconds by calculation

#

Hence, the graph is offset leftside by 0.5 seconds

#

So phase = -0.5

#

Let's find period

#

Period means the time/unit until the same point repeats

#

That would be 10 seconds

(Starting from bottom,5 seconds to reach top, 5 seconds to reach bottom again)

fading marten
#

oooh

muted anchor
#

Now we have A, phase, Period

#

w = 360°/period

#

So 36°/second

#

We now have w too

fading marten
#

omg u r fucking smart asf

fading marten
lofty widget
#

anything else?

muted anchor
#

Normally thr graph goes from -1 to 1

#

I'm figuring out if C should be there

#

The height difference is 0.6

#

But they asked us to denote the height w.r.t time

#

Ok, if we take blank statement

#

I currently got this equation

#

Let us put x = 2

#

I have a feeling that we must convert time to degrees or vice versa thonk

fading marten
#

what is the thing on the left of -0.58?

muted anchor
#

Where

fading marten
#

the circle wit the line through it

muted anchor
#

Phi

fading marten
#

is that the period?

lofty widget
#

no

muted anchor
#

Phase

fading marten
#

ahhh okok

#

thank you

muted anchor
#

Ok let's start beginning.

I'll walk you through

#

QUESTION

#
  1. we make diagram and we write stuff beside
#
  1. finding the stuff itself
#

(i) We find Amplitude here.
Amplitude means the height of the wave from the x axis

That is, A = (2.4 - 1.8) / 2 = 0.6/2 = 0.3

#

(ii) We find the Period here.
Period is how much time/unit it takes to repeat a particular point.

Period = 5 seconds × 2 = 10 seconds
(5 seconds from bottom to top, 2 seconds from top to bottom)

#

(iii) We use Period to calculate 'w'

w = 360°/Period = 360/10 = 36° per second

fading marten
#

oooooh

#

sorry theres a GAINT fucking bug rihg tnext 2 me

#

but keep going

muted anchor
#

(iv) We now find the C or offset value of this particular question's graph.

Normally we start at y = 0.
Here, we're starting from 1.8 + 0.3 = 2.1 m
Also can be written as, (1.8+2.4)/2 (Min + Max)/2= 4.2/2 = 2.1m

#

Hence we lift / stretch it by 2.1m too

#

(v) We find out the phase (phi) now.

Normally it is in degrees or radians(π)

Here we have in time.

Hence, we have to convert x into time

It takes 2.5 seconds to reach top/bottom from x axis.

But here, the person reach bottom just at 2 seconds.

Hence, the graph if shifted leftside by 0.5 seconds (-ve)

#

We have everything now

#

Y = A sin(wx+phi) + C

fading marten
#

omg

muted anchor
#

Y is h/d here (height/distance)
X is t here (time)

#

36° *

fading marten
#

XD

muted anchor
#

I guess you've understood now4am

fading marten
#

wait lemme read this

muted anchor
#

Ok

fading marten
#

can u explain the .5?

#

i dont understand how u got it

muted anchor
#

See that we need 5 seconds to reach from bottom to top

fading marten
#

mhm

muted anchor
#

Hence, we should be needing 2.5seconds to reach the middle point/x-axis

#

?

fading marten
#

i kinda understand ish

#

idk its kinda confusing

muted anchor
#

I meant the x axis like this

#

The x axis for the question would be the starting height of the person

fading marten
#

which is 2.1m?

muted anchor
#

Yes

fading marten
#

ahhh

#

okok so how would i show my work to get .5?

muted anchor
#

I'm explaining that😂

fading marten
#

LMAOO MB

#

im super tired rn

#

n i gotta get these questions done

muted anchor
#

It should take 2.5 seconds to reach bottom to starting height according to the calculation

#

But the question has told us that it takes 2 seconds instead

#

Hence, the graph is shifted 0.5 seconds to the left to be able to do that

#

Let me draw

#

So the person is already sliding down the hill, according to the question

fading marten
#

ok

muted anchor
#

,rccw

iron burrowBOT
muted anchor
#

The person starts from x = 0

#

Upper graph is what it should be

#

The question is telling us about the lower graph

#

We shifted the whole graph ⬅️ by 0.5 seconds

#

Hope you got it this time

fading marten
#

OOOOOOH

#

I SEE

#

so we started at the origin n we shifted .5 back b/c hes alr falling???

muted anchor
#

Yes

fading marten
#

ahhhhhhh

#

omg

#

thank you so much

muted anchor
#

You're welcome my man

fading marten
#

omg ur a atcual really fuckign smart

#

actually

muted anchor
#

😂 I was actually learning with you.

I didn't solve questions of this kind before.

But the wave part was in my Communication system chapter

fading marten
#

LMAOOO

#

so we both helped each other💀

muted anchor
#

Yes

#

How old are you?

fading marten
#

Im 16

#

Hbu?

muted anchor
#

18

fading marten
#

Dammm

#

N u snart asf

#

Man good for u

muted anchor
#

Since 16, I didn't pay attention in class tbh 😂

All day Call of Duty Mobile with friends or LifeAfter

Now I took one year to learn most that I can and get into a college that I can obtain

#

Anyways, have a good night.

Sleep early and good luck☺️

fading marten
#

Thank you so much man

#

LMAOO FOR ME ITS VALORANT

#

you too

#

It was nice meeting you
