EvoN1020v Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I am unsure which is correct: e.g. [math] y = \cos2(x-\pi)+3 [/math] Can it be defined as [math]y=\cos(2x-2\pi)+3[/math]? Following the basic equation of y = AsinB(x-c)+D, does the above example means it have an vertical translation of 2 and phase shift of 2pi to the right? [i know the graph will appear the exact same regardless, but I want to know which equation is more correct to draw graphs.]
Dave Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 It has a vertical translation of 3 (the +3 at the end), a phase shift of [imath]2\pi[/imath] and oscillates twice as much as a normal cos graph (the 2x).
