i got b) but cant do a) ??
i just need someone to explain it

white barn
#

Y=(cosx)+1

#

Wait no

crude schooner
#

do you mind explaining why tho

white barn
#

It’s wrong

crude schooner
#

the graph?

white barn
#

My answer

crude schooner
#

oh right

leaden mauve
#

y=2cosx

crude schooner
#

can u explain please?

leaden mauve
#

all the points get doubled

#

1 goes to 2, -1 goes to -2 and 0 stays at 0

crude schooner
#

ahh ok

#

but if the graph is like

#

y= sin x + 2

#

its not in brackets

#

so do i add 2 to the x value ??

leaden mauve
#

the y value increase by 2

crude schooner
#

why on the y

leaden mauve
#

the 2 isnt affecting anything to do with x

#

the only thing which x matters for is sinx

#

and then the 2 just increases it by 2

crude schooner
#

so only if its in brackets or before the sin it matters to the x?

#

like if its y=-sin x

#

the whole thing turns into minus?

leaden mauve
#

yeah

#

so sin(x-30) is a translation 30 to the right

#

but sinx -30 is a translation 30 down

crude schooner
#

ahhh

#

and if its infront of the sin you times y by 30?
