By the five-point method, you need five points to graph the function, #f(x)=4sin(x-pi/2)#. To find the five points, first find the five points for its parent function #e(x)=sinx#. Ignore the negative x values and its corresponding y values in the table below.
)
Now that you have the five points for the parent function, use the mapping rule to apply transformations in order to find the five points for the transformed function, #f(x)=4sin(x-pi/2)#.
Mapping rule: #(x+color(red)(pi/2),color(blue)4y)#
#f(x)=4sin(x-pi/2)#
Point #1. (0+color(red)(pi/2), color(white)(xxx)(color(blue)4)0) rArr color(white)(xxxxxxxxx)(pi/2,0)#
Point #2. (pi/2+color(red)(pi/2), color(white)(xx)(color(blue)4)1) rArr color(white)(xxxxxxxxx)(pi,4)#
Point #3. (pi+color(red)(pi/2), color(white)(xxx)(color(blue)4)0) rArr color(white)(axxxxxxxx)((3pi)/2,0)#
Point #4. ((3pi)/2+color(red)(pi/2), color(white)(ix)(color(blue)4)(-1)) rArr color(white)(xxxxxx)(2pi,-4)#
Point #5. (2pi+color(red)(pi/2), color(white)(xx)(color(blue)4)0) rArr color(white)(xxxxxxxxx)((5pi)/2,0)#
The transformed graph would look like:
